School screenings — Queens
Lice screenings for Queens schools
We screen classrooms in Queens discreetly and quickly, keep records your nurse's office can use, and help with parent notices afterward.
Same-day visits are usually available — often at your door within a couple of hours.
What to expect
What a school screening looks like
We set up in a quiet corner, screen each student in a few minutes, and keep the whole thing low-key — no announcements, no singling anyone out.
- Discreet, private checks that take a few minutes per student
- Clear records for your nurse's office the same day
- Help drafting parent notices when we find cases
- Return visits to re-screen affected classrooms
- Happy to see both floors of a two-family house in a single visit
Administrators usually call after one confirmed case, so that a single classroom doesn't turn into a whole-grade problem. We keep the visit matter-of-fact and leave the office something it can act on.
In Queens
Queens visits are usually houses — two-family homes with their own upstairs entrance, or garden apartments in the low-rise complexes around Forest Hills and Jackson Heights. There is normally a driveway, a kitchen table, and enough space to see more than one child in the same sitting, which is how we prefer to work anyway.
Queens schools often send notices home in several languages. We keep our records plain and brief for that reason, so the office can translate them without losing what they mean.
How it works
What a visit looks like
A short planning call
We work out timing, consent forms, and space with your office — usually a corner of the nurse's office or the library.
Set-up
We arrive before screening begins and set up a private station so students are seen one at a time.
Screening
Each check takes a few minutes. We keep it calm and matter-of-fact — no student is singled out in front of classmates.
A few minutes per student
Reporting
Your administration gets clear records the same day, and we can help draft the note that goes home to parents.
Same-day visits are usually available in Queens. Call (347) 901-5247 or request a visit and we’ll call you back.
Who comes to your home
The people behind the combs
You’re letting someone into your home in Queens, often on a stressful day. Here’s what you can count on about whoever we send.
Insured and background-checked
The practice carries professional liability insurance, and everyone we send has passed a background check. We're glad to show proof of either before you book.
Background-checked
Everyone we send into a family's home has passed a background check. No exceptions, including during busy outbreak weeks.
Trained before they work alone
Every specialist trains with our lead on detection, comb technique, and how to keep a restless six-year-old comfortable in a chair.
Experienced with this, specifically
Head lice are all we do. We've been making in-home visits since 2020, and there isn't much we haven't seen at a kitchen table.

From our families
What Queens parents told us afterward
A few notes from families who booked school screenings with us.
Our parent association arranged a screening after a classroom case. It was quick, discreet, and the kids treated it like a hair-brushing line, not a medical event.
As the class parent, I mostly appreciated the clear summary afterward — who was fine, and what to watch for at home.
From our families
What parents tell us afterward
They came the same evening I called, checked all three kids, and only one needed treatment. No lecture, no upsell — just calm, clear help.
Our school sent my son home on a Friday. By Saturday morning he'd been treated, with paperwork the nurse accepted on Monday.
I'd already tried two drugstore kits before giving up and calling. One visit and the follow-up recheck, and we've been clear since.
