Choose before school, after school, or both—each built around Black Ridge and your workday.
Drop off at Autumn Ridge for breakfast and an easy start to the morning, followed by planned drop-off at Black Ridge.
We meet the children at Black Ridge and walk back together with adult supervision along the neighborhood trail, so they are not walking along a street. Then there’s a wholesome snack. If there’s homework, there’s time and help for it; otherwise kids can head straight into play—outside when weather allows, with plenty of indoor choices too—until pickup anytime up to 6:30 PM.


Hi, I’m Heather, the owner and primary caregiver. I keep the group small so children can settle into familiar routines, and parents know exactly who to talk with about their child’s day.
Monthly tuition covers your child’s regular school-day care. Selected school-year days off are separate from monthly tuition. Full-day summer care is also offered separately for school-age children when school is out for the summer.

After a full school day, children need enough structure to feel settled—but not another three hours of school.
Walk back together, wash hands, eat a real snack, and decompress.
If there’s homework, there’s a comfortable place to get it done with help when needed. If not, they’re free to play, read, relax, or dive into something they enjoy.
Head outside to run, play games, kick a ball, explore the yard, or just unwind—or stay in and choose from art, building, cooking, books, games, and other interests.
Pick up when it works for your commute, anytime up to 6:30 PM.
We plan simple, filling, whole-food-focused snacks and meals, with homemade and homegrown ingredients when practical.
We avoid artificial colors and flavors, seed oils, knowingly GMO ingredients, and heavily processed low-nutrient foods. Organic ingredients are preferred where practical.


Selected school-year closures and a separate full-day summer option help cover the workday when school is not in session.
Offered on selected weekdays during the school year, such as teacher workdays and professional development days.
Your monthly tuition already pays for your child’s usual before- and/or after-school care. On a full-day school closure, you only pay for the extra daytime hours.
Additional enrolled sibling: $5 less than the applicable add-on.
Imagine Black Ridge is closed next Tuesday for a teacher workday. You still have work. Your child can come to Autumn Ridge for the full day.
Kids Club also offers a separate full-day summer option for school-age children, with weekly pricing and a summer rhythm built around outdoor time, play, projects, friends, and downtime.
Kindergarten through 6th grade.
The program is built around Black Ridge Elementary.
Heather meets the children at Black Ridge and walks back with them along the neighborhood trail. Children are supervised for the walk and are not expected to walk back to Autumn Ridge on their own.
Autumn Ridge is intentionally designed as a small-group program, with Heather as the primary caregiver. Children get familiar routines, and parents know exactly who to talk with about their child’s day.
If your child has homework, there is time, space, and help available. If there isn’t homework, they do not have to sit through extra academic time—they can play, read, relax, create, or choose something that interests them.
Before-school families may drop off from 7:00–7:25 AM. After school, families may pick up after we return through 6:30 PM.
Yes. Breakfast is included with before-school care and an afternoon snack with after-school care.
On selected school-year weekdays off—such as teacher workdays or professional-development days—Autumn Ridge may offer full-day care. Families already enrolled in before- and/or after-school care pay only the additional full-day portion rather than paying twice for hours already covered by monthly tuition. See full-day pricing.
Yes. Summer care is a separate Kids Club option for school-age children whose families need full-day coverage when school is out for the summer. It uses weekly pricing and a more relaxed summer rhythm. See Summer Care details.
