At Hair Fairies, we join forces with partners in the community who can make a real difference in head lice treatment and prevention. We offer our partners the benefit of our experience, access to free educational resources, useful tips, and effective, non-toxic products — designed to help the parents and children we all serve.
Schools
First of all, please know that your school’s head lice problem is not your fault. Most schools have a 3% student ratio of reported head lice at any given time. All schools deal with it — it’s as normal as the common cold. Now, what can you do to be proactive?
- Set a protocol to manage the problem once a case of lice is found in your school.
- Educate families and staff about head lice, including myths and facts, how to identify and how to treat.
- Set quarterly dates for school screenings and keep them confidential (some parents may refrain from sending kids to school for a scheduled screening).
Hair Fairies has partnered with schools since our founding. We’ve formed long-lasting relationships with many, including Pressman Academy, Yavneh Hebrew Academy, Adat Shalom, The Willows, Westwood Charter, Media Center Montessori, Riviera Hall Lutheran School, Fountain Day School, Martyr School and Wonderland Elementary School, among countless others.
We tailor our programs to your needs, offering the utmost professionalism and confidentiality at all times. Our services include free on-site head lice screenings, staff education and free head lice information packets. We also provide support for you and your families, free head lice photo identification and DIY educational resources. Please contact us.
