Latch Key is open to working families in the Brownwood ISD that have children 4 years old in Pre-k through 6th grade that qualify for free or reduced lunches in the school system. There is no charge for the families that are enrolled in the program. Latch Key provides a snack for the children and help with homework. All of the staff comes from Howard Payne University through the workstudy program and must pass fingerprint background checks to help ensure the safety of the children.
