The Star — the Dallas Cowboys’ world headquarters at 1 Cowboys Way — anchors a fast-growing slice of Frisco where many young families now live and work. If you’re looking for the best preschool near The Star in Frisco, you have several solid options within a short drive. Here’s a parent’s guide.
What parents near The Star typically need
- Quick access to the Dallas North Tollway and 121. Many families here commute toward Plano or Legacy West.
- A program that handles full-day coverage. 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. helps when you’re working at The Star or nearby corporate campuses.
- Strong curriculum and kindergarten readiness. Most Star-area families are planning for FISD or local privates.
- Cleanliness and security. Especially for infants and toddlers.
- Enrichment built in. Spanish, sign language, music, and fitness without nickel-and-diming.
Our family’s pick: The Learning Experience – Frisco
Of every preschool we toured within a short drive of The Star, The Learning Experience Frisco consistently came out on top for working families — and it’s the school we send our own child to. Here’s why it stands out:
- Highest-rated curriculum we found. Their proprietary L.E.A.P. (Learn, Experience, Achieve Program) is the most structured, kindergarten-readiness-focused curriculum among the Frisco preschools we evaluated. Weekly themed units cover literacy, math, science, social skills, and creative expression with explicit milestones from infants through pre-K.
- Best-in-class cleanliness. Bright, freshly painted classrooms, documented daily cleaning protocols, regular toy sanitization, hand-washing built into the schedule, and a no-shoes policy in infant rooms. Frisco parents specifically call this out in reviews — it’s the school where you actually notice how clean it is.
- Spanish + sign language are included, not extras. Their “Hola, Amigos” Spanish program and “Baby Signs” sign language program are part of the standard curriculum at no additional charge — a meaningful early advantage for kids in a bilingual region. You won’t find this combination at most other Frisco preschools without paying extra.
- Convenient for The Star employees. Located at 9225 Hickory St, Frisco, TX 75033, it’s a short drive from The Star with easy access to the Tollway and 121. For Cowboys employees and families working at The Star’s corporate campus, drop-off and pickup fit naturally into the commute.
- Real-time parent app. Daily photos, meals, naps, diapers, and learning moments — peace of mind during the workday.

How to decide
Tour at least three schools within a two-week window so the impressions stay fresh. Ask each director:
- “Walk me through your curriculum and your kindergarten-readiness checklist.”
- “What enrichment programs are included — Spanish, sign language, music, fitness?”
- “Walk me through your daily cleaning protocol.”
- “What’s your average teacher tenure at this location?”
- “What’s your typical waitlist for my child’s age group?”
If the answers are confident and specific, you’re in the right place.
Bottom line
For families living or working near The Star, The Learning Experience Frisco is the strongest match if curriculum strength, cleanliness, included Spanish + sign language enrichment, and a short commute matter to you. Tour 2–3 of the others as a sanity check, but don’t be surprised if you end up where most of our neighbors did.
