White City families looking for a bilingual early-learning program have a direct neighbor in My First Place Academy, located at 1991 SW Savage Blvd in Port St. Lucie — close enough to make daily drop-off and pick-up a natural part of the routine rather than a detour.
Built Around Two Languages, Not One
White City is a close-knit, historically working community, and many families here already move between English and Spanish at home. My First Place Academy's classrooms reflect that reality directly: every age group, from infants through VPK, is taught with English and Spanish woven through the day — conversation, songs, stories, and routines — rather than treated as separate lessons.
Programs for Every Age
- Infants: a calm, sensory-based introduction to time away from home, with sign language support for pre-verbal communication
- One and Two Year Olds: language development, sensory play, and early self-help routines
- Three and Four Year Olds: play-based learning, early literacy, and structured routines building toward VPK and kindergarten readiness
- VPK: state-sponsored through our partnership with the Early Learning Coalition — free instructional hours for eligible Florida four-year-olds
- Before & After School Care and Summer Camp for school-age children in the family
What the Academy Offers Day to Day
Meals are coordinated with the Florida Department of Health and folded directly into the curriculum. The facility includes a private parking area, video monitoring throughout, and a synthetic-turf playground built for active, age-appropriate play. Directors Veronica and Aracelly Forero stay hands-on in the classrooms, observing lessons and supporting teachers directly rather than managing from an office.

A Practical Note for White City Families
Because White City is one of the closer communities to the academy, a quick weekday visit is easy to fit into your schedule before deciding — no formal appointment needed to get a feel for the classrooms. If you're weighing multiple options nearby, that kind of side-by-side comparison in person tends to be more useful than reading program descriptions alone.
Come Take a Look
The best way to know if a bilingual program is right for your child is to see the classrooms in person and meet the teachers.
