Pocomoke and Snow Hill After School Programs

The Lower Shore Family YMCA offers parents a Maryland State Licensed after school program for your kindergarten through eighth grade child in Pocomoke and Snow Hill.  Your child will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities including arts & crafts, sports, group games, swimming (in Pocomoke) and more.  Children will be given time each day to complete their homework while attending the program.  The YMCA provides positive role models in the way of an experienced staff with a focus on children and their development.  Our staff works with the children daily to get them up and moving.  We are not a program that focuses on tutoring children, however, we will have them active on a daily basis.  Kids need to be kids and have fun.  We leave the educational focus tot he schools and bring the kids a variety of sports, group games and fitness!  Worcester County Schools provide transportation daily.
