It’s been a busy, exciting, and rewarding year as we’ve continued to see familiar faces and welcome new visitors. In 2023, we reached a total attendance of 13,750. This year, we're on track to surpass that record-breaking number of visitors! The newly renovated art center is a hub of creative expression for PRC children. Imaginative play with dress-ups, baby dolls, dinosaurs, and STEM activities continues to engage young hearts and minds. Play-Doh is a time-honored daily activity and many children keep their personal containers labeled with their name to use during their regular visits. For those who may be wondering, Play-Doh still smells like you remember. The recipe has remained largely unchanged since 1956!
While we’re thrilled to see the community enjoying the PRC and taking part in our many programs, the increase in attendance also brings financial challenges. Higher costs in several areas require the PRC to engage in community-based fundraising to support our vibrant, bustling center. Funds raised through FLXGives will be essential to equip the PRC to meet this new, exciting reality and sustain our mission to help families with young children play, learn, and connect with others in a welcoming and encouraging environment.
We are so grateful for your support and look forward to creating even more joyful memories with you at the PRC!
Center Supplies: We have had to replenish supplies many times this year. |
|
Programming/Art Supplies: Arts and craft supplies are always a favorite with our young visitors. The higher attendance has greatly increased usage. |
|
| Wear and Tear on Center Equipment and Toys: Well-loved toys and equipment must be maintained and replaced periodically. | |
| Staffing/Volunteer Needs: Busier days need extra support from staff and volunteers. |
|
| Community Cupboard Supplies: We have seen a steady increase in the number of families who utilize this important service we offer to the community. We want to be sure we have baby and hygiene supplies on hand for anyone who needs our support. |

The Nonnie Hood Parent Resource Center ("PRC") is a community center for families with young children. Founded in 1988 as part of the school district, the PRC became a separate 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization in 2001 and serves 700 families a year. Now parents visit who were once PRC kids themselves, and we have the joy of serving multiple generations of families!
Our drop-in center is at the heart of our programming with more than 9,500 visits every year! We also offer a variety of programs and events to help kids engage in various ways (arts & crafts, science, music & more).
We also offer free parent education classes, short term childcare, camp and supervised visitation during private hours, which bring our mission to families in a different way.
We are happy to serve children with all abilities and their families from the Corning, Painted Post, Horseheads and surrounding regions.
