New Pre-K School Opening in Northwest ISD (Hicks Early Childhood Center)

Northwest ISD is opening a brand new school designed entirely for Pre-K students — the Dr. David Hicks Early Childhood Center. Opening in August 2026, this campus focuses on play-based learning with themed classrooms designed to help young learners explore, create, and discover through hands-on activities. The school will serve families in the Eaton High School feeder pattern, and enrollment for the Pre-K lottery begins this spring. If you're thinking about moving to North Fort Worth or Northwest ISD, this is an exciting update for families with young children.
