A Quiet Place

The main objective of ‘A Quiet Place’ at Middlefield is to develop the emotional intelligence of our children from Nursery to Year 6. Identified children work with Quiet Place staff through a variety of interventions designed to support and develop their emotional intelligence.

People who are feeling good about themselves are both eager to learn and more likely to be successful in achieving their potential.

The elements of Emotional Intelligence are:

• Managing behaviour
• Resilience and empathy
• Self esteem
• Confidence and awareness
• Successful communications and relationships

A Quiet Place Body Work/Massage

Massage is an important part of the A Quiet Place protocol and must be done with care in order to keep children safe. Much research shows the connection between touch, emotional health and well-being. Massage is offered in conjunction with a number of programmes to assist with relaxation and reduce tension.
