New Harmony Academy is a full-day center-based provider at 200 W Rea Ave in Lancaster, TX, serving children from 6 weeks through 12 years. It maintains zero high-severity deficiencies in its safety record and accepts subsidies to support working families. Owner-operators Sheri and Donniel Wilson are actively involved in the center, and a Yelp reviewer specifically praised their "great learning curricula" and personal leadership. The center's reputation is largely word-of-mouth with limited public review volume, and its 6:00 PM closing time is earlier than some competing centers in the market.
