Voted Best Childcare in West Fort Worth (2024)

Fort Worth, TX

About Our Center

At NorthStar Preschools at Westpoint, we believe that children thrive in a space filled with light, creativity, and connection. Our classrooms are themed to spark imagination, and each one proudly displays “Evidence of Learning” boards so families can celebrate growth every step of the way.

Outside, we have three beautiful play yards designed for different age groups, garden beds for seasonal planting, and bird feeders that encourage curiosity about nature. A covered patio extends learning into the fresh air, making outdoor exploration part of everyday discovery.

We host weekly Cooking Adventures, where our little chefs dive into fun, hands-on experiences, and our dedicated Curriculum Stand-Up Room is transformed each week to match classroom themes — helping bring the curriculum to life.

Curriculum & Enrichment

Our approach blends the structure of intentional teaching with the creativity of play-based learning. We use the innovative “Learning Beyond Paper” curriculum, which emphasizes exploration, problem-solving, and real-world connections.

To support every child’s unique learning journey, our team uses a color-coded system to help identify students who may benefit from additional academic support — and tailor help where it’s needed most.

Enrichment Programs include:

Parent Experience

Families tell us they feel the difference the moment they walk through our doors — from the welcoming staff and clean, vibrant spaces to the thoughtful details that make each day easier.

We also love to bring our community together. From movie nights on the front lawn and bingo events to back-to-school bashes and seasonal toy & blanket drives, our traditions make this center feel like family.

“With over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve had the privilege of teaching every age group. Now, as the Director of Northstar Preschool at Westpoint, I love mentoring teachers and creating a place where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn. I truly believe I was called to work with children! It brings me deep joy to watch them grow, discover, and thrive every day. Thank you for trusting me with your most precious little ones. Outside of school, I’m a proud mom to two amazing kids, Solaris and Samir, who inspire me daily.”

“The ART of TEACHING is the ART of ASSISTING DISCOVERY”

Our Programs

Infant care is where it all begins. In our cozy infant room, babies are cradled in a safe, loving environment. Our caring teachers sing, talk, and play with your little one to support early language and motor skill development. Every moment — from tummy time to feeding and cuddles — is an opportunity for your infant to learn about the world around them in a secure, nurturing space.
Toddlers are busy explorers! Our toddler program channels their boundless energy into positive learning experiences. Little ones engage in hands-on activities that build language, begin potty training routines, encourage sharing, and develop gross motor skills. Through music, art, and play, our toddlers gain confidence as they discover new words, practice independence, and learn about friendship and routine.
In preschool, children dive into a world of discovery and creativity. Our preschoolers participate in fun early academics like counting, letter recognition, and science exploration – all through play! Whether they’re building towers, crafting art, or acting out stories, our teachers guide them to develop social skills, problem-solving abilities, and a genuine love for learning. By balancing structured activities with free play, we help each child thrive across all areas of development.
Our Pre-K program prepares your child for a smooth transition into kindergarten. In Pre-K, children deepen their understanding of letters, numbers, and scientific thinking with more focused activities – but we never lose our sense of fun! Kids practice writing their names, begin simple math, and partake in group projects that build teamwork and communication. With plenty of encouragement, our Pre-K students gain the academic skills and confidence they need for that next big step.
Learning and fun continue even after the school bell rings! Our after-school program provides a safe, engaging space for school-age children up to 12 years old. Each afternoon, we offer homework help, crafts, games, and outdoor play so children can unwind and explore new interests. With caring supervision and a mix of structured activities and free time, our after-schoolers build friendships and skills in a relaxed, home-like atmosphere until it’s time to go home.
