A free play-and-learn home base for families
Make yourselves at home in bright, welcoming spaces designed for play, connection, and everyday discovery. Spend time in open play, try hands-on activities, build and pretend together, dip into stories and puzzles, and take a softer moment when you need it. Come for a quick reset, or stay long enough to make a morning or afternoon of it.
You’ll find HFRC in two easy-to-reach spots, our Arnot Mall location and our Church Playroom & Gym spaces at First United Methodist Church. Both are simple to access with nearby parking, and each is set up to help families settle in quickly so the good part starts right away. Check today’s location, then drop in and make yourselves at home.

Community-Supported
and Independent
The Horseheads Family Resource Center is an independent nonprofit built around local families and the people who support them. Families, local businesses, and community partners help make it possible for children to play, learn, and grow in welcoming spaces. Local donations and philanthropic support help keep programs free and help maintain the spaces families rely on. The numbers tell part of the story, and the rest happens here.
