Lil' People's Place

Clarkston Center Claimed 5.0 Updated Aug 2026

Open today 6:30 AM - 6:30 PM

Lil' People's Place has been the heart of early childhood education in Clarkston, MI since 1998 — a warm, locally owned preschool Oakland County families have trusted for generations. Serving Independence Township, Lake Orion, and Waterford, we're more than a preschool — we're a community. We believe the early years should be alive with curiosity, creativity, and connection. From infant/toddler care through preschool and pre-K GSRP, our hands-on programs help every child grow at their own pace. Here, your lil' one builds lifelong friendships and learns, grows, and belongs.

We’ve had our son and daughter at LPP since 2019. The kids absolutely love the staff at LPP and they truly make the place feel like a second home for the kiddos. They always have something special going on for the kids to participate in. Highly recommend.
