The Secret Kindergarten | For Young Children
The Secret Kindergarten is here to support parents of young children.

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.

Maya The Bee Returns 31.12.2023 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 Pied Piper 20.12.2023 24:00
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 31 The Five of Swords reveals a lack of empathy and harsh criticism. Either to oneself or to others. In this episode, we play The Pied Piper. I was once called the Pied Piper by a parent, as a trail of young children were following behind me. I replied “Yes, minus the child abduction” and the mother laughed hysterically. I loved how she had...
Far Away and Long Ago 17.12.2023 26:36
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 30 The Hanged Man of the Tarot is detached from his situation and emotionally disengaged. Being upside down, he has a different perspective or a new view of things. The freeze game is the preschool way to explore the Hanged man and to promote this kind of higher-thought later in life. There is something going on inside the mind of the Hange...
Self-Defence Swans 12.12.2023 24:44
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 29 Gino pulls the Eight of Swords from the Tarot deck. The Eight of Swords speaks to the loss of self-esteem which creates distrust in the self. In Gino’s experience, as an early childhood teacher, the loss of self-esteem happens when young children aren’t allowed to act according to our natural rights or live according to Natural Law. One...
The Rabbit and The Crab 10.12.2023 26:05
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 28 The Chariot card in the Tarot shows someone “getting what they want”. Young children want to get what they want.

In the early learning centres, some desires are left unchecke...
Sleeping Beauty, The Cactus and The Raisin 06.12.2023 23:26
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 27 Gino pulls the Death card from the Tarot deck to guide this episode. An end brings a new start.

All kinds of events are happening, behind the scen...

The Frog, The Cat and The Chipmunk 29.11.2023 24:12
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 25 The Page of Wands reminds us that we can make anything happen by having confidence and enthusiasm. Such a simple message that resonates throughout nature. The cat always lands on his feet, so he engages in all kinds of acrobatic feats.

A Picnic With The Monkeys 26.11.2023 25:54

The Albatross and The Princesses 22.11.2023 26:01
The Albatross and The Princesses The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 23 The Ten of Pentacles in the Tarot shows a scene of inheritance. What do our young children inherit?

Never-t...

The Butterfly, The Dog and The Sparrow 15.11.2023 25:02
The Butterfly, The Dog and The Sparrow The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 21 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!

The Sun 12.11.2023 26:41

The Goose and The Lark Amongst The Ferns The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 18 The Eight of Pentacles says “Hard work will pay off and lead to results”. Freedom requires us to believe in ourselves, to be self-reliant, self-determined and persistent. We explore these qualities found in nature by looking at the fern, the goose and a Brothers Grimm story about a farmer being ob...

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 17 In this episode Gino uses the Page of Wands as a guide for the show. The Page of Wands gets immersed in play and exploration. She says “I’ll just see where it goes”. There is potential for this message to be misunderstood.

The Turtle and The Rainbow #SKR16 29.10.2023 25:53
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 16 In this episode Gino uses the Ten of Cups as a guide for the show. The typical image of the Ten of Cups has a family, with the parents in admiration of a rainbow. So we read a book about rainbows in the nature segment of the show. When you have all the support you need to feel content, you then get the opportunity to stand back and admir...
