Enfants & Parentalité

Fréquence : 1 épisode/6j. Total Éps: 139

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.

The Butterfly, The Dog and The Sparrow (re-upload)

samedi 27 décembre 2025 • Durée 25:02

The card of The Fool in the Tarot implies the start of something new, or a fresh beginning. Some people don’t get to start until they are very old. Sometimes some people never start for their whole lives! But if we spend lots of time, as young children, in play…. we are given more of a chance to begin our Hero’s Journey much sooner than would be expected. The more young children play, the more they give their attention to styles of play that benefit their own learning style/schema. Paying attention to the right things in early childhood develops focus, concentration, self-awareness, processing information…… hang on a minute! Are we talking about the trivium process here? Indeed we are…. at least the early childhood application of it. Let’s put it this way: engaging in preferred styles of play, in the early years, sets the young child up for the best and right learning later in life. Playing the right way means learning the right way and then later… doing the Right thing!

Épisode 137

dimanche 21 décembre 2025 • Durée 25:35

"Before concentration sets in the teacher can do what she likes more or less, because she upsets nothing important. She can intervene in the children’s activities if necessary. I have read of a Saint who tried to attract the abandoned boys of the streets of a town who were learning bad habits. What did he do? He tried every means to amuse them. That is what the teacher must do at this stage. The use of poetry, rhymes, singing, stories, drama, clowning; anything is good enough except the stick. The teacher who fascinates the children attracts them and this leads to some exercise, which is not very important but it does attract them. A vivacious teacher can attract more easily, then why not make use of it? To say brightly: “Now what about changing the furniture today” and then work with them, the teacher herself carrying things carefully and suggesting how to carry, doing all this brightly. Or: “How about polishing this beautiful brass bowl?” or: “Shall we go into the garden and collect some flowers?” If the teacher is attractive the action will be attractive." Maria Montessori

Plant Pixies

Épisode 129

mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 49:15

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, brings us back to an ancient time. Indo-Europeans had the nature connection and may have been responsible for the symbolic sequences of Natural Law found in many fairy tales. They also held the children in extremely high regard. The initiation of the child, into the seventh year of age, was a huge ritual and celebration. This, in my opinion, means that the ancient Indo-Europeans understood the importance of the life of the child in the early years.

The Condor

Épisode 38

mardi 16 janvier 2024 • Durée 25:14

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 38

Anger is important. Anger is a feeling and feelings must be expressed. Anger can be let out and laughed about later as we continue on our way. We do the angry dance and let our angries out! We talk about the cool, calm and collected condor. The condor knows how to control his feelings and soar through life, no matter how grisly it might be. We affirm life’s eternal path of the soul with part of a lesson from “The Eternal Verities”. We play some stories that cover life, death and rebirth. Nature shows us a world of cycles, like the condor shows us, symbolically, with how he eats. Like the transformation of the dragonfly. In this episode, we weave a thread through cycles: of nature; of life; of the soul’s journey.

Épisode 37

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 37

Life is fun, difficult, happy, sad, tragic and magic. Life is also eternal. When we die, we return to the place we came from. At the same time, we were here all along. So we don’t have to worry! We can have fun, and be serious at the same time. We can have fun, but be mindful that life is serious and worth caring about. This episode, we highlight the connectedness of life which young children embody and require this connectedness to affirmed by grown-ups.

Happy Swans

Épisode 36

mercredi 10 janvier 2024 • Durée 25:22

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 36
Educating Girls Series - Second Installment

Gino pulls the eight of swords from his tarot deck once again! The message being that one should stick up for themselves and stick up for what is right, to prevent the self defeating thoughts and patterns from taking hold.

We introduce some content from H.P. Blavatsky’s “The Eternal Verities, for The Teachers of Children”. According to Gino’s estimation, this book appears to be for slightly older children, 6 years plus. Nevertheless, we want to start exploring the limited esoteric resources for children that are available. We read a story from lesson five in the book. This story is called “How to be Happy”. The story shows that little Helen was happiest at home, helping her mother to make a Sunday dress. The story ends with a question: “Do you know why?”. The answer in the book is ‘Yes, it is the nature of the self to render “Gentle Service”’. The goal of “How to Be Happy” in Blavatsky’s book is to affirm the Theosophical value of a life in service to others. If you play this story to your young child, ask them why! We are genuinely curious as to what their answer may be.

Also, in this episode, the swans return! We play Swan Lake and with our knowledge of Swan Spirit symbolism we see how the feminine aspect of self-defence takes flight in Tchaicovsky’s famous play. The theme of true love is bundled up nicely in this story. Odette, to stick up for herself, needs the love of the prince to break her spell. She is defending herself, while at the same time, the situation has the prince defending true love. All cheesiness aside, the message is about sticking up for what is right and doing the right thing. Odette freed herself and found true love. Even if the true love was imposed by the sorceress, as the neo-feminists claim today, Odette still used her power to get herself into a better situation! This brings us to the activity at the end of the show, “Three Questions”. Questioning young children, in a respectful and playful way, is super-important. We aren’t wanting to paint young children into a corner here. We are wanting to encourage young children to make choice and develop their sense of self so they know that they have power and sovereignty. We want young children to defend themselves when life demands it. They need to know who they are, what they want, and what they like to know these things are worth fighting for.

Martial arts like wing chun and krav maga prove that women can also physically defend themselves against bigger and stronger opponents. Women can do more masculine things to defend themselves too! We can all use all our faculties to defend ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically. A must watch movie about True Care, self-defence, violence and a heroine, is the 1994 film “” directed by Woo-Ping Yuen.My niece was being bullied at her daycare. When her dad, my brother, had a conversation with her about it. He let her know that he would support her with doing whatever she thought was right in dealing with the bullying. She chose to pull a scary face and make a loud monster noise when the bully would approach her! The bullying stopped immediately without any physical intervention required! My niece was back to her usual confident self. In fact, her confidence grew, and continues to grow to this day, as she knows it’s okay to stand up for herself with the support of her loving parents.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): For more info and full credits: The Secret Kindergarten is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): .For any questions or comments: gino@thesecretkindergarten.comSupport my work: .

Iphigenia and The Apple

Épisode 35

dimanche 7 janvier 2024 • Durée 27:00

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 35
Educating Girls Series

In this series we are focusing on the education of young girls. Gino pulls the Queen of Swords from his Tarot deck, and in this episode, we are challenging the attention span with “Big Fat Story-Time”! At around two-and-a-half to three years old, girls are more focused on solitary play and working with their internal world. Perhaps a good space to listen to long stories! We play a Greek myth, “Iphigenia”. We want to provoke grown-ups to consider what is appropriate for educating young girls. “Princess Programming” is very real and Gino realised how deep this program runs, even into his own actions when he was a teacher. The grown-up question for this episode is, how much does the State influence our values and expectations regarding the behaviour of young girls? We encourage adults to reflect on this, in the hope of changing the “educational landscape” to create a free world.

Now, back to Iphigenia...

The audio story is extracted from the 1908 book “Heroines Every Child Should Know” edited by H.W. Mabie: http://flyingchipmunkpublishing.com/Childrens_Books.htm#Heroes_and_Heroines_ECSK

The current publisher of the book states, “From very early times great honour was paid to courage and strength; qualities which won success and impressed the imagination. The first heroes and heroines were gods or demi-gods, or others, who did difficult things, not for themselves but for others. The men and women whose bravery and great deeds are described in these pages have been selected not because they are faultless in character and life, but because they were brave, generous, self-forgetful, self- sacrificing and capable of splendid deeds. Stories of heroes and heroines have often made others strong and brave and true in the face of great perils and tasks, and this book is put forth in the faith that it will not only pass on the fame of the heroes and heroines of the past but help make heroes and heroines in the present.”

The princess programming wants everything to be easy for young girls, to create an expectation that everything should be easy, that life should hand everything to the young girl as they wish. Young girls are powerful and beautiful. Like the Queen of Swords in the Tarot, young girls can use their power by thinking and speaking to maintain control in dire circumstances to create a good outcome for themselves and others.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/More info and full credits list: The Secret Kindergarten is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): .For any questions or comments: gino@thesecretkindergarten.comSupport my work: .

The Tarantula in My Purse

Épisode 34

mardi 2 janvier 2024 • Durée 24:36

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 34

Gino pulls the Rhodochrosite crystal from Judy Hall’s “The Crystal Wisdom Healing Oracle” to guide the show. According to Judy Hall, rhodochrosite is a crystal of transformation from self-reflection and through self-understanding and forgiveness. This crystal corresponds to the tarantula in the world of animal spirit guides. Author of “Animal Spirit Guides”, Dr. Steven Farmer puts the tarantula spirit as a guide for shedding old ways, self-trust (which requires understanding and forgiveness) and pushing forward while dealing with sensitivity. The “Nature Time” segment explores these qualities with Tarantula facts and an anecdote from the Nature Writer, Jean Craighead George. We also play an audiobook about Robert The Bruce and his encounter with a spider. The spider shows him that success is about failing many times, which essentially is what the spider is here to teach us about. It reminds me of spiderman, the hyper-sensitive super-hero. You see? The proof of our connectedness is everywhere!

Young children show us that the Law of Vibration is an objective reality here on earth. The Secret Kindergarten aims to highlight how things like a crystal, a tarantula and striving to succeed, have much more in common than it may seem.

Maya The Bee Returns

Épisode 33

dimanche 31 décembre 2023 • Durée 26:27

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 33

As inspiration for this episode, I pull the citrine card in The Crystal Wisdom Healing Oracle by Judy Hall. According to Judy Hall, citrine brings joy and helps you to interact creatively with the world. She also notes that joyful play creates a “wonder-full” world. The New Age movement speaks to the child in our self. Sadly, this is capitalised on as we were not raised in a way in which we are empowered to overcome our child archetypes and become adults. When we grow up, we have to face our faults and make concerted effort to improve our thoughts, emotions and actions. The New Age movement focuses on the childhood positivity and naivety, encouraging us to bypass the struggle and accept things as they are, in order to manifest a new reality for ourselves. There is a place for crystals, positive thinking and self-acceptance. These tools can help us to try to push ourselves forward and become better people. The cool thing I have discovered is the New Age publications are a wellspring of information for all things early-childhood! Age-appropriate positivity!

Inspired by the citrine card, I thought it was appropriate to bring back Maya The Bee in this episode: we play chapter 10 of Waldemar Bonsels’ 1922 book, The Adventures of Maya The Bee. Maya’s courage, naivety and actions are innate, as it is so with young children. Her joyful play and creative interactions bring her to a world of wonder where she encounters a flower sprite. Engaging with young children in True Care and creative exploration will bring adults in contact with a world of wonder, particularly regarding the unseen! The gifts, modalities and hidden talents, that are promoted as the “cause” in the New Age movement, are really the “effect” of doing the right thing in the world by living according to Natural Law, in particular the Law of Vibration. We are all connected. If one suffers, all suffer. If we live a life of care and influence this on others, children and nature, we are rewarded with the effects: a growing intuition and the opportunity connect with our hidden talents. Perhaps a flower sprite might come into your life from doing the right thing.
