Palm City parents who want a genuinely bilingual early-childhood program — not just a token Spanish lesson — will find My First Place Academy a manageable drive north at 1991 SW Savage Blvd in Port St. Lucie.
What Makes This Different From a Typical Palm City Daycare Search
Most daycare searches in Palm City turn up programs that offer supervision and maybe a seasonal Spanish unit. My First Place Academy takes a different approach: total immersion in English and Spanish is the foundation of every classroom, from the infant room through VPK, delivered through everyday conversation, songs, stories, and routine — not a subject taught once a week.
Programs by Age Group
Infants get a calm, safe classroom built around sensory learning and sign-language communication support. Toddlers (one and two years old) move through language-rich routines, sensory play, and early self-care skill-building. Three- and four-year-olds shift into play-based, literacy-focused learning with structured daily routines that directly prepare them for VPK and kindergarten. Our VPK program, run in partnership with the Early Learning Coalition, provides three free instructional hours daily to any eligible Florida four-year-old, regardless of family income. Before & After School Care and Summer Camp round out coverage for families with school-age kids.
What You'll Find at the Academy
A facility built specifically for early education: private parking, video-monitored classrooms, and a synthetic-turf playground. Meals are planned in coordination with the Florida Department of Health as part of the curriculum. Owners Veronica and Aracelly Forero remain directly involved in classroom life — observing lessons and supporting teachers in person.
Driving in From Palm City
1991 SW Savage Blvd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34953 Monday – Friday, 6:30am – 6:00pm (772) 446-4011
The drive from Palm City runs primarily along I-95 or Kanner Highway toward central Port St. Lucie — a workable commute for families willing to trade a few extra minutes for a genuinely bilingual program.
Making the Decision
Choosing a daycare or preschool is one of the bigger early decisions a family makes, and it's reasonable to want more than a website description before committing. We'd encourage any Palm City family to tour a few options and compare directly — how each classroom actually runs day to day, how teachers communicate with the children, and what a typical morning looks like for your child's specific age group. That side-by-side comparison is usually where the difference in a genuinely bilingual, structured program becomes clear.
