Nonnie Hood Parent Resource Center, Inc. — Local services in City of Corning

This place doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. I feel like every time I'm in there, there's at least one mom who is asking questions because it's the first time she's brought her kid(s) there, and she's saying something to the effect of "This is great. Had no idea..."

And yet, chances are 50/50 that's the last time I'll see her, and the last time our children will play together. There's plenty for the children to do, the activities are great (but underattended), and there's a lot of great things to do WITH your children.

They will even give the alienating parent a warning after 5 cancellations out of 6 visits. They will tell you after the 4th cancellation that they will offer the time slot to another family if the alienating parent misses one more visit but of course that will be a lie. Like I said before , do not ever agree to this nonsense . Nonnie Hood is just another piece of the...

A great place to take your kids! There are so many things for them to explore and play with. My son really enjoyed the playhouse with the slide and loft area and kept pretending to cook me food. There is also art areas, a train table, various blocks, and a small climber. They also have scheduled activities and events, like visitors from nature centers or...
