On the fourth floor, an interactive Children's Center (designed with the artistic team of Redmoon Theater) focuses on the building blocks of literacy: letters, language, and storytelling. The evocative setting includes cloudscapes, night skies, and hands-on activities such as climbing tubes, mazes, and kinetic sculptures designed to introduce young visitors to the unique role of storytelling in the Jewish tradition. A special resource center is available for parents and teachers. The Children's Center at Spertus is open only for private events and by reservation.
