The visits from the nurses help to assure the parents that their children\u2019s health is being monitored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the pre\u2013school has been receiving regular health checks from nurses at the local clinic, Rockman said she believed the nurses and the clinic deserved praise for their hard work which often went unnoticed by the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would like to thank Park Lane Clinic for offering this free service to our learners,\u201d said Rockman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would also like to give a big thank you to the friendly Sister Naeema Barends who regularly sends the school reminders of their next visit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GRATITUDE is felt all around at Kooweekidz Educare in Levyvale, Uitenhage towards
