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!]]>enEducationCopyright Gino Volantehttps://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/f2011b26eef36c4a91547bb91ccf47e2.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-kindergarten-for-grown-ups--6387172Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:36:26 +0000Gino VolanteGino Volantegino@thesecretkindergarten.comThe Secret Kindergarten is here to support parents of young children.

And whether they are old, ancient, re-written, orally re-counted, Christianised or bastardised... or both(!), they are collections of symbols.
