ancient wisdom and tradition.

LABA Co-Artistic Directors
LABA is a Jewish house of study, or beit midrash for
culture makers. In 2011-2012, LABA and the 14th
street Y will be studying the theme of Blueprint: Place,
space, structure and architecture in ancient and
contemporary Jewish expression.
Throughout next year, we will examine the complex
bonds between physical, mental and mystical spaces.
We will look at how architecture and geography are
used to create order out of chaos, separate the sacred
and profane, define the boundaries of the individual and
the collective self and create a sense of meaning and
purpose for individuals and communities.

modern Jewish life.
StorahSteps
Storahtelling’s newest program for early childhood
educators and young families with children ages 2-6
adapts our successful Maven Method™ for young
audiences on stage and in the classroom. The Maven
Method™ integrates ancient Jewish tools for cultural
transmission, with theatrical and educational theory,

StorahSteps informs and transforms the ways
young Jewish families, early childhood educators
and caregivers relate to their cultural legacy, ritual
celebrations and spiritual heritage. StorahSteps is
developed in partnership with the 14th Street Y.
StorahSteps on stage: StorahSteps performances
are hour-long programs, which include a unique
“StorahScroll” coloring project, a thirty to forty minute
performance featuring live music and puppetry, and
a closing, thematically relevant, craft project. Stories
are created and performed by Storahtelling artists and
shaped by early childhood educators. These programs
work to teach Jewish customs, holidays, and stories
while shining light on universal morals and values. Stay Tuned for FOR THE THIRD SEASON OF

Parenting Your 3 - 6 Year Old
This exuberant, energetic, ever questioning age can
pose a real challenge to parents around limit-setting,
development of empathy, and discussing issues of
death and sex. This group, led by Parenting Director
Kiki Schaffer, helps you interpret the behavior of your
child and develop successful coping strategies.
Parenting Your 6 - 9 Year Old
Come discuss life with your school age child as he/she
manages friendships, masters homework, explores the
internet, navigates winning and losing, sorts out right
and wrong and experiences aggression. The discussion
will be experiential. Please pre register prior to
first class.

Now We Are Three
Now We Are Three is a separated, year-long class
for 31-36 month-olds that introduces children to
the structure and content of a preschool program.
Through a combination of individual and group
projects, art, music, creative movement, storytelling
and outdoor play, Now We Are Three promotes
independence, creativity, socialization and confidence
within an educational setting, while preparing children
for a full preschool day.

Educational research shows that emotional security is
the true foundation of learning. This pre-nursery school
program will stimulate your child’s social, physical and
cognitive development while safeguarding that security
and comfort throughout the separation process. In
the fall, adults provide a reassuring presence as your
child engages in art, music, yoga, story time, cooking,
creative movement, and imaginative play. Later in the
Fall semester, adults gradually leave the room, allowing
children to fully focus on their daily activities, their
budding friendships, and their newfound independence.
We can also recommend entertainment.
Our popular early childhood staff can do art
projects, music, or kids shows for an additional
fee — we can even provide you with an instructor
for a sports party.

dramatic play centers that comprise each room. Curriculum is facilitated
through choice and through project work. Children have opportunities
for both individualized play and group collaborations. Field trips and
intergenerational community events complement these exciting classroom
activities, while our large rooftop playground ensures fresh air and outdoor
playtime all year round.

The UJA-Federation of New York provides critical support
to The Educational Alliance and The Alliance’s 14th Street
Y through general operating funding and program grants,
volunteers, training, and advocacy. With the support of
UJA, The Educational Alliance is able to provide services
to Jewish New Yorkers who are homeless and hungry
as well as older adults, scholarships for our Jewish
preschool program and summer camps, and Jewish
cultural programming. Their help is invaluable in enabling
The Alliance including the 14th Street Y to continue vital
community services that help the needy and foster Jewish
life in Lower Manhattan.
