Full Ranking Detail
infantkinderschool-age
Berne Academy DCC is a licensed, subsidy-accepting child-care center at 1311 Johns Ave in Lancaster, Texas, serving infants through Pre-K-age children. With extended operating hours from 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM, it provides continuity of care for growing families and accommodates working parents' schedules. The center includes snacks as part of its daily program. However, the center carries 5 high-severity deficiencies on its HHSC inspection record—prospective families should review the latest inspection report before enrollment—and its large licensed capacity of 246 warrants verification of actual class sizes and teacher-to-child ratios.
