The Secret Kindergarten | For Young Children

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 Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 125

Pinocchio goes out and lives life to the fullest, making many mistakes and trying to get by without responsibilty. He is learning, through experience, that this doesn't work out so well. There is an effect to the cause. There are consequences to actions. All his rough-sawn actions are symbolic of the hand-made wooden puppet that he is... rough around the edges and being ...

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 Continues

June 22, 2025 • 50 mins
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

June 21, 2025 • 34 mins
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...

Jack is Back!

June 7, 2025 • 48 mins
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. The lady, in a way, deceives the grapevine to please her. Jack in Jack The Giant Killer shows us that we can outsmart and outplay grown-ups as young children. We can defeat opponents much bigger than us. We need to trick our minds into...

The Moon

June 1, 2025 • 50 mins
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...

Snowdrop

The Brothers' Grimm Fairy Tale, "Snowdrop", has the following message encoded in it: "For empowerment, success and control of your life - to live your true purpose…. You must: be naive/innocent; have high energy/sustained energy; be knowledgeable about psychology; recognise and work on integrating your shadow; maintain emotional wellbeing by expressing yourself through pursuits in the arts and sciences".

Tree Tales

May 17, 2025 • 48 mins
Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" is the perfectly crafted story. I don't understand how someone could write a children's story that was so perfect. It certainly is the best book about the relationship between man and tree. It is true that trees are wise and are motivated to serve us and love us unconditionally. We should talk to them and thank them for being here for us!

Flying Horses

April 28, 2025 • 47 mins
"Let your imagination fly" and "let your imagination run wild" are phrases, when put together, might bring to mind flying horses. Among other meanings, flying symbolises the imagination. Our imagination resides in the place that embodies young children: the unconscious. Among other definitions, horses symbolise the imagination as well. Two Celtic Fairy Tales, in the episode of The Secret Kindergarten, have flying horses. Both of th...

The Humble Bee

April 21, 2025 • 49 mins
In the Māori fairy tale, The Wooden Head, we learn that dreamwork was in use in New Zealand in ancient times. We also learn that value was placed on the moments before sleep and the moments before waking. These are occulted times of the day and night, when our beings are in a suggestible state. The protagonist in The Wooden Head asks for advice on his problem situation, he dreams the solution, awakes and knows what he is to do. He ...

The Valiant Little Tailor

April 19, 2025 • 48 mins
"The Valiant Little Tailor" is considered an essential fairy tale for folklorists. What is essential about this tale for young children? The tailor character pops up in a few fairy tales. Consider Steiner, who said fairy tales are "nutrition for the soul", and the fact that fairy tales rich in symbolism. We could say that the symbolism of the tailor provides something for the soul of the child. Tailors make clothes fit, so there is...

The Miser in The Bush

Audiobooks are a great alternative to screentime. They increase comprehension. Fairy Tales contain symbolic teachings of universal principles and laws. They contain laws of three that teach us how we can live to be effective and righteous. So if young children listen to audiobooks of Fairy Tales, we are increasing their comprehension of the most important topics encoded in the stories. It's a way to teach Natural Law. When children...

Everything is upside down and back-to-front in the world of young children. Risk-taking is good, play is crucial, physical play even more so, mistakes essential, children are here to teach us!

The Gnome

March 2, 2025 • 49 mins
According to Steven Olderr's, Symbolism - a Comprehensive Dictionary, a gnome symbolises: a flash of knowledge; inspiration; enlightenment; intuition; knowledge held in secret; associated with mining. A gnome represents a force that helps us when we look within and need help when we are doing good and on the right path. Fairy Tales with mythical beings resonate with these concepts inside all of us and they affirm the part of life t...

The King and the Polar Bear

L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz, also wrote fairy tales. In today's episode we read "The King of The Polar Bears" from Baum's book, American Fairy Tales. The moral from this story is, "… that true dignity and courage depend not upon outward appearance, but come rather from within; also that brag and bluster are poor weapons to carry into battle." This fairy tale contains human-to-animal violence and animal-to-animal c...

The Vikings

The Vikings, while possibly holding conquest and domination in high regard, revered stories and storytellers. Where were children when the stories were being told? Were they put to bed early while the parents could have some "grown-up" time? Or were they included in more of the community activities? It is likely that the stories were for all to here and spoke messages that were to be received on many levels and by many developmenta...

A wonderful fairy tale, from New Zealand, is read in this episode. The King and The Fairies teaches the origins of the fishing net. It's amazing how the story corroborates the esoteric concept of where great ideas come from. In the story, the idea of fishing nets, comes from the fairies of the sea. Interestingly, we have covered this concept of fairies as messengers right here on the Secret Kindergarten. Theosophy teaches this idea...
