Les Finch Learning School is one of those rare places where you can actually feel the love the moment you walk through the door. The staff genuinely cares about each child’s growth, not just academically but as a whole person. They pay attention, they nurture, they guide — and they do it with real heart. It’s the kind of environment that feels less like a school and more like a second home, a place where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to become the best version of themselves.
Leonard WoodsDec 11, 2025This by far is thee best daycare. My son has been here for a year now and I can say that’s he’s learned so much. The teachers are dedicated to he kids and I appreciate it so much.
Brandi WilliamsSep 10, 2025We love our family. This business and staff loves what they do and were sent by God to serve, take care of and teach the children the things as if all of them were their own, And has been doing so for decades. If you want to see a true definition of love then stop by and check them out. Anthony J.

Yolanda WilsonSep 14, 2020I can't believe it has been 50 years. I am honored to say I was one of the first students of Les Finch's Learning Tree. I celebrated many milestones here. Mrs. Finch and Mr. Ben ensured it was a daycare second to none. I attended daycare, as well as the after school program. I was a member of the Gospel Choir, and The Les Finch's High Steppers majorettes. Les Finch's was also a rich part of my family history.....my mother was a teacher, choir director, and majorette leader for many years, as well as my daughter being a student, and a DGM modeling alumni. I thank God for Les Finch's....... congratulations on 50 years of service, may God bless you with many more
Konnie RossJul 4, 2020My little brother went to this school from the age of 2 all the way until he started kindergarten. The staff is amazing and they prepare the children for the future. Its more of an educational environment then just a daycare to drop your kids off while you work. They actual take the time to sit down with the kids and teach them the basic fundamentals of life. They even take them on trips and give them graduations and proms at the end of the program, just as if they were in a real school and my little brother love them still to this day and they love him. I am currently going thru the process of now enrolling my son into the schools. Its a great experience for everyone involved and its affordable.
