  • Summary

  • 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. There is also content, for grown-ups, uploaded here to encourage and support them so they can become their own early childhood educators.

    Jack The Giant Killer
    May 21 2024
    Today we play some music, we listen to an Australian fairy tale, and to a Jack story!

    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 74
    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 grownups as young children. We can defeat opponents much bigger than us. We need to trick our minds into believing it is all true. Young children are capable of this when they are affirmed and recognised as confident and capable. We need to let the young keep their magic and bring it into adulthood to create the kind of world we were meant to live in.

    The Monkeys and The Red Berries
    May 19 2024
    When you listen with your child to an episode of The Secret Kindergarten, don't forget to read the show description, where the reasons behind the resources used are always explained. The audio is for the kids but the description is for the parents or the child carers!

    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 73
    People need to learn the most important lessons, to find the most important truths, by themselves. That's why some people don't learn about objective morality for a long time. This is why young children need the best conditions for development. They need play, they need a connection with adults who revere them. They need to be recognised as confident and capable. They need to be recognised as magical. Then, when they grow up, they will find the most important truths with ease. We won't have to force facts down each other's throats, we won't need to be the governed nor the governors of others. We will be self guided and guides for the children. We will be aware, awake, alive and we will be free.

  • Little Red Riding Hood

    Little Red Riding Hood
    May 16 2024
    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 72

    "Follow children learning their fables; and you will see that when they are in a position to apply them, they almost always do so in a way opposite to the author’s intention, and that instead of looking within themselves for the shortcoming that one wants to cure or prevent, they tend to like the vice with which one takes advantage of others’ shortcomings."
    Emile Rousseau

    The above quote was taken out of Off With Their Heads!: Fairy Tales and The Culture of Childhood by Maria Tatar. Maria Tatar starts off the first chapter with this quote. Tatar argues that Little Red Riding Hood, and other fairy tales, originated as dirty parlour stories before they were "moralised" to scare children into listening to their mother. Emile Rousseau says that children do the opposite to what the author intended as the outcome for the listening child. So, what are the intentions of the author of any of the well-known fairy tales? If the stories have been heavily revised, who revised them and why? A story has to be created, it has to come from the mind. Has the moral "re-working" of Little Red Riding Hood lasted this long by coercion? Or has it resonated with symbols and values that people agree with deep down? Mothers certainly want their children to listen to them. Relationships require listening from all involved. When adults respect and listen to young children, the young children will listen and respect back… they need this dynamic to learn and grow their minds in the best way possible.
