Pearl Griffin Memorial Latch Key Program is a non-denominational after school program for Brownwood Independent School District students from low-income families. Our goal is to provide working families the opportunity for their children to receive quality care. Through love and understanding, children discover their own worth and develop values such as respect, honesty, and fairness. This program is available free of charge to families that qualify.
Latch Key is open to families with children 4 years old in Pre-K through 6th grade in the Brownwood ISD. Parents must be working or going to school during after school hours and qualify for free or reduced lunches with the guidelines set forth by the Department of Agriculture.
Latch Key is a non-profit organization. There is no organizational sponsor. Funding comes from local foundations, churches, United Way of Brown County and individuals. Donations are also received in the form of memorials.
