Julie Mountain shares the 4-stage design process that transforms any outdoor space. Learn why "what movements do children need?" beats "what equipment should we buy?" every time. Essential viewing for early years practitioners. www.earlyyears.tv/episode/j...

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
