Pomperaug Regional School District 15

The Region 15 Before and After School Program (BAS) is a non-profit organization  (LINK to the BAS Website) dedicated to making safe, nurturing, and affordable before and after school care available to children in grades kindergarten through grade six, in the Middlebury-Southbury community of Region 15.

The program provides working parents a reliable and worry-free alternative to having their child(ren) in an empty house for part of the day.
