At Maitland Pediatric Dentistry, caring for children goes far beyond healthy smiles. It’s about supporting the families, schools, and communities we’re proud to be part of every day.

This year, we are incredibly honored to have been nominated for the OCPS Crystal Awards 2026 as an outstanding Partner in Education, nominated by Dommerich Elementary School.

What Are the OCPS Crystal Awards?

Hosted by the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, the Crystal Awards celebrate individuals and organizations that make a meaningful impact in local schools. These awards recognize those who go above and beyond to enrich student experiences, support educators, and strengthen the community.

Being nominated among so many dedicated partners is truly a privilege. It’s also a reflection of the relationships we’ve built within our local schools.

Our Commitment to Community Education

Our partnership with Dommerich Elementary has been incredibly rewarding. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to support students, families, and faculty through a variety of events and initiatives, including:

  • Sponsoring the school’s annual 5K Run
  • Supporting the Autism Walk
  • Participating in Big Chiefs Night Out (PTA event)
  • Contributing to the Fall Fundraiser
  • Hosting Teach-Ins, where we visit classrooms to educate students about dentistry and oral hygiene

These experiences allow us to connect with children in a fun, meaningful way—helping them build confidence in their smiles while learning healthy habits that last a lifetime.

More Than Dentistry

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: strong communities create healthier, happier kids. Whether we’re in the office or out in the community, our goal at Maitland Pediatric Dentistry is to make a positive impact wherever we can.

Being recognized as a Partner in Education reinforces our commitment to giving back and continuing to support the incredible schools and families we serve.

Thank You!

We are deeply grateful to Dommerich Elementary for this nomination and for welcoming us as part of their school community. It’s an honor to stand alongside so many inspiring organizations making a difference in students’ lives.

We look forward to continuing this partnership—and creating even more reasons for kids to smile.
