The Secret Kindergarten | For Young Children

The Secret Kindergarten is here to support parents of young children. We provide a freedom-minded podcast, for young children (roughly aged 2.5 to 7), that is guaranteed to be free of indoctrination and sinister agendas. There are carefully curated undertones in the content that promote Natural Law principles because The Secret Kindergarten affirms what young children already know. An enjoyable podcast for the whole family that is thought provoking, fun and encourages connecting with our young. The Secret Kindergarten is created and hosted by Gino Volante, an ex-ECE teacher. Gino wants to see young children bonded with caring adults in the right way. This will affirm their connection with Nature, which will naturally push back against the indoctrination agendas and create a future of freedom for humanity. https://thesecretkindergarten.com/ The Secret Kindergarten has also a podcast for For Grown-ups, a show created to encourage and support families, friends and communities of young children so we all can be our own "early childhood educators". Check it out on https://thesecretkindergarten.com/ or on the podcast platform where you are now!

The Butterfly, The Dog and The Sparrow (re-upload)

December 27, 2025 • 25 mins

The card of The Fool in the Tarot implies the start of something new, or a fresh beginning. Some people don’t get to start until they are very old. Sometimes some people never start for their whole lives! But if we spend lots of time, as young children, in play…. we are given more of a chance to begin our Hero’s Journey much sooner than would be expected. The more young children play, the more they give their attention to styles of...

Outside of play, stories are the modality for teaching, instruction and explaining things to young children. Let's read more stories aloud for the children!

"But one thing children at this age cannot do is follow explanations; they have no understanding for this at all. If a teacher tries to explain the subjects during the first school years, the children will react by becoming blunted and dull. This approach simply does not work. O...

Here is a fantastic tip about reading stories to young children to influence change. It was spoken by Rudolf Steiner at a faculty meeting on the 14th of June, 1920. Dr. Steiner: "It is unavoidable that the anthroposophical children hear things at home. That is not dangerous as long as the parents are reasonable. The healthy attitude of the parents will keep the children from becoming too wild, even though those things may go in dee...

Gino pulls the Rhodochrosite crystal from Judy Hall’s “The Crystal Wisdom Healing Oracle” to guide the show. According to Judy Hall, rhodochrosite is a crystal of transformation from self-reflection and through self-understanding and forgiveness. This crystal corresponds to the tarantula in the world of animal spirit guides. Author of “Animal Spirit Guides”, Dr. Steven Farmer puts the tarantula spirit as a guide for shedding old wa...

Cobwebs

Cobwebs are found in places that we have missed — corners of the house, ceilings and under furniture. They reside in places we haven't been paying attention to. The cobwebs invites us to look out for hidden or missed opportunities in our life. Our children are bursting with opportunity for themselves and for us. Cobwebs remind us to spend time with our children, to create opportunities for them and openings for our spiritual develo...

The Lord of The Silver Bow

They may might not be the most engaging stories for young children in the technocratic age, but not so long ago, some people thought Greek Myths were important to be translated to something palatable for children. This episode plays "The Lord of The Silver Bow", a re-telling of the Trojan war. The Secret Kindergarten wants to shine a light on people who spent their time and energy to create better resources for children. The person...

At the end of of many shows, we do a group activity for the listeners to the feel connected with one another. This is affirming, especially for young children. The truth of Natural Law is a part of us. It is more a part of us as young children. It is easier for us to live according to Natural Law as young children. With a little bonding from caring adults, we can thrive and live free... and create the freedom many conscious adult w...

I was lucky to receive three large boxes of children's books on August the 8th. A notification on Facebook popped up asking for the contact details of a charity shop that would want a bulk lot of children's books. I tried my luck and sent the man a message. The next day, he happily delivered them to me. It was a lucky day! My mind has been fraught with my direction in life. I wonder if I am wasting my time with my work for children...

Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant symbolises how children require play in nature in order to grow into holistically healthy human beings. Powerful forces in nature come to the aid of families who spend time together outdoors in play. Not only part of Native American philosophy, Rudolf Steiner spoke of nature-connections. He was an inspiration for the "Eco-Spirituality" movement. Children spending time in nature, with their families, ...

Pinocchio Final Episode

August 5, 2025 • 53 mins

This episode brings us to the end of the Pinocchio series. It is time to reflect on ethics, morals and the initiation of the young child at the change of their "milk-teeth". Can we be brave enough to play and learn alongside our children and guide them through their mistakes and life lessons?

Pinocchio Goes to Toy Land

July 22, 2025 • 53 mins

When Pinocchio goes against the advice of the fairy, he is choosing to give into worldly temptation, such as going to Toy Land instead of School. Running deeper than the exoteric message to "stay in school kids", the message speaks to spiritual development, which the fairy symbolises. The fairy represents our spiritual powers and our untapped potential related to universal consciousness and our true selves. Toys, on the other hand,...

Pinocchio and The Fairy

July 22, 2025 • 57 mins

Pinocchio, much like the Fool in the Tarot, is pure potential. He shows how it is possible to do the right thing, or the wrong thing in the present moment. This archetype is about choices in a youthful honesty. It is a card that represents creativity too. It is referenced as such in many books. Modern Tarot books suggest it is a great card to show up in a reading. It suggests that you are beginning an adventure and to have fun and ...

Pinocchio Returns

June 28, 2025 • 49 mins

Pinocchio is considered to be, at least in part, an allegory of Italian society in the 19th century. The author, Carlo Collodi, was against the unification of Italy by monarchy in his era. It is considered likely that he was trying to show children the corruption and evil of those adults in positions of power and authority. With so much corruption, allegory and moral lessons contained in a long-standing and most popular children's ...

Pinocchio is a story of initiation, was written by a politically active Freemason. Can you see the plurality of Pinocchio and the Fool of the Tarot? Of course the story was written in the 19th century, a time of the rise of secret societies and illumination. The mystery traditions hold allegory, symbolism, archetypes and ancient tales in high regard. Pinocchio is certainly a reflection of someone on the path in the esoteric era. I ...

Pinocchio is a story of initiation, of striving to overcome darkness and do the right thing. Pinocchio is a character that was weaponised to promote fascism, well after Collodi wrote the story. The 19th century was full of bright, creative and spiritual people. Some of these people created powerful, symbolic art that had such Universal appeal, it could be "hi-jacked" and used for other and perhaps nefarious reasons. It reminds me o...

There is nothing that we cannot do. We can do anything that we put our mind to. We can affect the growth of plants by transferring our intentions and energy onto them, like in The Grape Vine's Story.

We can defeat opponents much bigger than us. We need to trick our minds into...

Young children, while clearly in the hands of the spiritual realm, are the life of imagination! The moon card in the Tarot represents the "life of imagination, apart from the life of spirit" according to A.E. Waite. Our imagination is what will get us out of the mess we're in and the children of today are our future. Families could do exceedingly well for their children's future by observing and incorporating the moon's cycles in t...
