• Babies and Daisies

    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 71

    "And those beautiful daisy flowers which go to sleep when the sun goes down, are like babies with their eyes shut, gone to sleep too. In the morning the daisies will open their petals out again, as soon as the sun gets up to call them and the babies will open their eyes too, and be very lively, and make sure you play with the babies! Perhaps, when our eyes are shut too, the little fairies who live with the flowers will join hands and dance and dance. The moonlight always makes them want to dance. Let us go to sleep, and then we shall slip away from our bodies and we can run out and join hands with them, and dance and dance too. And we can catch all the lovely thoughts which are like flowers in God's other house, and take them to the people who would like to have them."

  • The Boy and The Broom
    May 7 2024
    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 70"The Story of The Broom" teaches young children about the Natural Law Principle of Vibration. We are all connected and we have a resonant rippling effect on all things we do and how we do them. Adults' patience is put to the test when they engage in activities with young children. It is the challenge with a reward to unlocking higher powers.Here is an activity for you grown-ups to do with young children at the beach or the river… wherever there is sand. This activity is taken from the book Trails, Tails & Tidepools in Pails:Sand SlidesMaterials Required:Sand3x5 index cardsClear tapeMagnifierScissors or hole punchCreate a Sand Scan Slide:• Punch or cut out several small holes in a 3x5 index card. • Cover the underside of each hole with clear sticky tape.• Press your "slide" into the sand, sticky side down, to pick up several small patches of sand. • Hold a magnifying glass close to your slide, and watch the sand become bigger. • Notice that sand is made up of millions of sand grains which are teeny tiny bits of rock. Sometimes bits of shell from sea animals are mixed in with the sand grains • How many colours and shapes can you find in the sand grains? • Close your eyes and picture each grain of sand being at one time part of a huge rock or mountain.

  • The Angels Help us to Grow
    May 5 2024
    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 69My journey began when I decided to throw myself into the world of young children in the preschool environment. It was a place I could use my patience, and grow it. I started to get synchronicities. I didn't dive too deep into the meanings… I took them as a pat-on-the-back from God. I learned that my intuition was growing from my time "suffering" the children. I learned about animal spirit guides and started to learn about the meaning of the animal synchronicities I was receiving (because kids are surrounded by animal symbolism). I learned that this connection extended to plants and all things in nature. I received a gift from someone who looked after our cat while we were away. It was a pendulum. "This is going too far", I thought. The cat-sitter, who became our friend, persisted. "Have you tried using it yet?". I politely delayed and delayed, making excuses for not being crazy enough to take answers from a stone on a chain! When I eventually tried it, I was fascinated and I have watched the pendulum swing from my hands, for a time, every day since. The pendulum led me to asking direct questions about who I am connecting with. The pendulum led me to learning about the fairies and also the angels. I struggled to understand how they could co-exist. Am I Pagan or am I Christian? Is it one or the other, or can it be all things at once? I let sleeping dogs lie, and kept on keeping on. My dowsing and intuition helped me reflect and make the right decisions. It got me started with The Secret Kindergarten. In researching for resources for the show, I discovered books from the Theosophical Society for the education of children. They talk about the fairies and the angels. the same fairies and angels I discovered from working with young children. This episode features more content from the Theosophical Society, because my experience in the past proves what they are saying is true and right for the young children. At least, those involved in creating the material had their heart and experience in the same place as myself. The angels do help us to grow if we are trying to do good in the world. I learned this over time while teaching, without giving it too much thought. And now I discovered a story, saying the same thing, from the book, Theosophy for Very Little Children.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/MUSIC by Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/Pretty Baby You're Surrounded in LoveThe Farmers Apple TreeWhen The Pretty Flowers GrowAUDIO STORIESThe Rat and The Elephant.

  • The Fairy Horn
    May 1 2024
    In this episode, we read more fairy tales, a timeless prayer, and then we do a breathing activity at the end!The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 68“The Vision of Visions” is taken from the Bhagavad Gita. I found it in God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita. How many times has “The Vision of Visions” been read? How many times has it been spoken throughout time? I have adjusted the prayer to try and make it more understandable. Mainly replacing the old English pronouns. When you listen to it, do you get the message? Do you get a particular feeling? I’m genuinely curious. My paraphrasing of the message in “The Vision of Visions” is as follows: “There is a God. God created everything. There is good and evil. There are good circumstances and bad circumstances. We should be grateful for our life and strive to do good. We should live to fight against evil because God is good and he gave us choices.” My understanding of “The Vision of Visions” is why it is an amazing prayer for children to hear. It sums up life in truth and the age of the text promises its availability in the collective consciousness. As we tap into the collective from our subconscious mind, it surely must be readily available to connect with those who are operating in the subconscious brainwave state… our young children.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/MUSIC by Nancy Stewart of NancyMusic.comOnce Upon a TimeNocturnal AnimalsOver the River and Through The WoodRub a Dub DubAUDIO STORIESRhys, Ernest (1859-1946) & Grace (1865-1929). “The Fairy Horn”.

  • The Honest Woodman
    Apr 27 2024
    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 67Fairy tales are important for many reasons. One reason is because fairies are real! Are there physical Tinkerbells fluttering around in the forest when you aren’t there? Maybe, maybe not. But there is life in the earth, the stones, the plants, the flowers, the trees, the sky. Fairies are a spiritually scientific way of naming this. Young children are more connected to the unseen than adults are. Reading fairy tales to young children, with reverence, is an affirmation of the truth. Spending time with young children, and treating them with reverence, brings you into the fairy tale world. You develop your intuition and get connected with the unseen in nature. It’s a reward. It’s what some may call “eco-spirituality”. It’s what comes about when families connect with each-other and with nature.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/MUSIC by Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/Circle RoundHibernating AnimalsPretty Baby You’re Surrounded in LoveAUDIO STORIESBaldwin, James. “Which Was The King”. 50 Famous People: A Book of Short Stories.

    Apr 23 2024
    Today Gino reads you some old stories and myths, and if you're able to sit through to the end, we play a fun game in the snow! (because winter is coming here Down Under 😊)The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 66In this episode we introduce Parable Time, Prayer Time and we cover part of Lesson IV of The Eternal Verities for Teachers of Children. The prayer is “The Vision of Visions” from God Talks With Arjuna in The Bhagavad Gita. What is the benefit of telling stories and saying prayers from such ancient resources? The Truth that is scattered through these old stories and myths. The Truth doesn’t change, perhaps that’s why some stories stand the test of time. These old myths and stories tap into the “All”, they highlight the “allness” of things. Young children are most connected to the “allness” of things. Instead of indoctrinating kids out of this sense… a solution is to read myths and fairy tales to affirm their natural connection to the “All”.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/MUSIC by Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/Pretty Baby You’re Surrounded in LoveArachnid RoundBOOKSUnknown (1921).

  • The Fairies
    Apr 20 2024
    In this episode, we learn about the magical Fairy World! I also read you a BIG FAT STORY about Soldier Jack, the choices he makes and their consequences.

    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 65
    I discovered many hidden things about the world when I was teaching young children. Studying occult material, spirituality, Natural Law and so on, I was having such a magical time. My experiential knowledge was going to be kept at anecdotal evidence only. There was a search for esoteric and occult information regarding early childhood. I found Steiner, I found Rosicrucian material and Theosophical material. I chose not to read it during my teaching practice. I was experiencing so much and developing my knowledge through discovery. I knew that the teaching thing was on a short timer, with the way the world is going. So, years later, I have been reading the material I found. The story of the Fairies from, The Eternal Verities, is one example of esoteric-mystery-school-teachings-for-young-children that I can share with confidence and the knowing in heart for it to be true to share with young children.

    It's time to open up the cages and let our spirits sail on the sea of life - A poetry and stories packed episode!

    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 64

    The indigo children are clear examples of how children are “in the hands of God”. The indigo children show how children are still coming through from “the other side”. They remind us that of the water that our ships/souls sail on. The phenomena of the indigo children is a cultural trap too. It promotes the idea that “my child is superior to others”. At the risk of criticising parents (of which I am not one), our lack of confidence and our disharmony sees us as separate from one another. We compare ourselves to others. We want to be different and better than others, but we already are different and better.. our soul is trying to push this out of us, but we get the internal message wrong amongst all the external messaging we receive in the distorted world we live in. The point being is that all children are indigo children. All children are special, all humans are able to tap into their “indigo”.
