What Happens in Each School?
School social workers (SSW) meet with LevelUp Kids’ staff to determine their annual availability.
Notification is sent to all families in each school that our dental and vision teams are coming soon
SSWs identify families who qualify and help them complete the required paperwork.
We offer a paperless online registration process.
Online and paper forms are also offered in multiple languages.
SSWs partner with our staff to create the students’ appointment schedule, notify teachers, and coordinate the arrival and departure of students.
How Miles of Smiles Operates
Portable equipment and supplies are stored in special suitcases.
Our van transports our team and equipment to each school.
Schools provide a room for the dental equipment and staff to use for approximately two-to-three weeks.
We use schools’ electricity while providing our own water source.
Comprehensive treatment is provided at the school by a licensed dentist and dental assistants. Families will receive information regarding their Childs dental care. Patients whos treatment is not completed at the school will receive a call to schedule the patient for any follow up appointments at our office.
how icare4kids operates
Our Vision Techs come into the school to perform vision screenings on mandated grades.
Our staff will determine which children need a comprehensive eye exam based on screening results, and a registration form will be sent home.
Children who meet our income guidelines will be seen at their school on our Mobile Vision Clinic for a comprehensive eye exam.
Children in need of glasses are provided with a pair of glasses that they will pick out at time of exam.
Glasses typically arrive within 7-10 business days, and will be dispensed and fitted at the school.
