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!

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...

In this episode, I read, "Shadows of Night: The Hidden World of The Little Brown Bat" by Barbara Bush. Bush's books have fantastic images and nature themes that connect animals and plants to the world of children. I have a fear that I wi...

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, ...

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?

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, 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 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 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. 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...

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...

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".

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!

"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...

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" 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...

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...
