The Secret Kindergarten is here to support parents of young children.
In this channel you will find the podcast for 'Grown-ups', parents and carers of young children. This show has been created to encourage and support families, friends and communities of young children so we all can be our own "early childhood educators".
The Secret Kindergarten is created and hosted by Gino Volante, an ex-early childhood education 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.

The Secret Kindergarten has also a podcast for Young Children (roughly aged 2.5 to 7), with fun and enjoyable content, free of indoctrination and sinister agendas. The children's show is thought provoking and encourages connecting with our young. Check it out on https://thesecretkindergarten.com/ or on the podcast platform where you are now!

16 NOV 2024 · One of the themes in children's dramatic play is the theme of death. Children's play involves death and and there must be a reason for it. This play sends a signal of re-incarnation, a message that our consciousness goes on after the body dies. It represents the archetypal symbolism of death. Death, in the tarot, has a meaning of transformation. The children expressing their current paradigm of a need to transform and to individuate. They are also expressing our current paradigm of involution, which is the present appropriation of the death card in tarot. The control system of government is a mechanism for involution and entropy. Death is the god that is "worshipped" by those in power. Selfishness at all costs and destruction of the other. When we are able to find a way through and nurture our children to become free-thinking and free-spirited, we will create a free world without the current death system. The death card will become a symbol of evolution and new beginnings. What then will the children teach us through their dramatic play? Will "death-play" still bubble up at the frequency it currently does? One way to release the grip, that the death-card has on humanity now, is to read the true fairy tales to our children. The solution is to read fairy tales in all their death and glory.

9 NOV 2024 · The future leaders of the free world are not getting the bond that they require, from parents, as young children. They then end up in the educational institutions, anchor-less and defiant, looking for a place for themselves to fit in. They know that conforming to the classroom indoctrination system is wrong, yet they don't know who they are or where they belong. They don't have a better option in mind. They need this system to feed off, because of their lack of familial bonding. They become the bullies and eventually the criminal, the police, the politician. Ultimately, the rebellious and abandoned young, become enforcers of the slave-system because the system made them direct their rebellious nature against themselves.

2 NOV 2024 · Continuing to clarify the importance of Fairy Tales, we explore the genealogy of Fairy Tales. Does the origin matter? We discover disputes in the discourse of researchers. As we explore we can reel it back in and recognise that Fairy Tales are deeply profound acts of genius. And whether they are old, ancient, re-written, orally re-counted, Christianised or bastardised... or both(!), they are collections of symbols. The symbolic collections require the knowledge and intuition of the people to understand and decode them. Then, we get to understand and preserve the importance of the messages therein. We get to appreciate the heart, soul, values and efforts of the authors of these tales. They knew the power of the fairy tale and they were driven to encode universal truths into them. They strived to create such powerful art so the story and symbolism would remain eternal just like the laws that are encoded in them.

2 NOV 2024 · Fairy Tales are the "greatest and most natural art" because they put forth the Truth of things that are difficult to understand related to humanity. They tell us the truth of who we are and our origins. They teach us our spiritual powers. This is why they are most important for children. These truths flourish when absorbed in the right way, at the right time. Children need fairy tales as affirmation of their connectedness to Universal Consciousness and Natural Law, as we all are.

2 NOV 2024 · The fairy tale bubbles up from the unconscious depths of the human soul representing the spiritual battles we live throughout our lives as part of our purpose. These tales are so deep and profound that we identify with them in the way we identify with the taste of food, not really understanding the nutritional aspects at the deepest level. The laws of nature must be deep down somewhere. Do the fairy tales allegorise Natural Law? Or is Gino showing hubris by making some lazy intellectual connects. We dive deeper by reading Rudolf Steiner's lecture on Fairy Tales related to spirituality. One thing is certain: Fairy Tales are food for the soul and must be revived.

2 NOV 2024 · "The Wolf and The Seven Young Kids" teaches children to be creative, take action, create and do projects that are of service to greater things, to others, to the planet. Do this while living a balanced life, with patience, compromise, selfless love and you will succeed. How does the story teach this to children? The story does this through symbol, through allegory. The reader transfers the idea to the child through an interest and understanding of the allegory in fairy tales.

2 NOV 2024 · The TV robs children of opportunity to connect with others and build patience. Patience is required to be charitable. Charity is allied with love and knowledge. Love and knowledge are heart based as discovered in previous instalments of this series. TV damages our heart and in turn damages our patience, charity, love and knowledge.

2 NOV 2024 · Can we fathom what kind of a world we would live in if we were perfectly raised? Is the thought of this even possible? What is the perfect upbringing? Can we get close to it at least? If we took away the trauma, abandonment, vaccines, chemicals, indoctrination, television, police, military and government? Would you be able to visualise how things would be without these parts of life? A return to nature does away with these things, simply because they are not a part of nature. The television could be a great place to start, we could remove some of our time and attention spent on it, and replace it with time spent naturally. What natural thing could you and your family do with that time? Me? Well I'm on the computer right now instead. Am I a hypocrite or am I "taking one for the team" by extending my tech-time? I'm honest and a return to nature is something I need to work at too.

2 NOV 2024 · The first broadcast of all things television and it's effects on the young minds of the world. We look at an institutional view and a spiritual view, with both sides spitting facts. Can we decide whether or not to throw the T.V. and technology out? How necessary is it and for which age group? Do we just need "conscious programming" for the little ones? We are going to discover that the T.V. may be even more worrisome for the heart, rather than the mind. Or is it a problem for both? There is a lot to discover and unpack. Make a start here, switch on and stay tuned!
