XSTREAM Learning Center Camps operates as a Certified Childcare Center. The program’s curriculum, described as XSTREAM, includes Cross Cultural Communication, Science, Technology, Reading and Writing, Engineering, Arts and Music, and Mathematics, and is noted as a Mandarin-English dual immersion and STEM-based curriculum in preschool with half the day in English and half the day in Mandarin as described in a testimonial. Camps are run in cooperation with Engineering for Kids and include a focus on cross cultural communication and understanding and appreciation of the richness and diversity of different cultures.

XSTREAM Learning Center was founded in 2017, moved in May 2019 to a space twice the size of the original center, and has had a kindergarten program since 2021. The leadership team includes Emily Palmer (Founder and Owner), Helen (Director), Teacher Gao (Chinese Teacher and Sub-Director), Teacher Bi (Chinese and Music Teacher), and Teacher Laura (Preschool Teacher). The center states that its mission is to foster and build upon children’s natural curiosity about the world and how it works by giving them ample opportunity to explore a wide variety of subjects, find what interests them, and expand that into new directions, and that it believes the XSTREAM curriculum is the key for students to becoming contributing members of a high-tech, diverse, and highly connected society of the future.

Parent testimonials describe small classroom settings, a bilingual immersion format with half-day Chinese and half-day English, clean and neat classrooms, professional and caring teachers, great communication, and daily hikes or trips to a nearby park, as well as a musician visiting on Friday mornings for singing and dancing. One parent notes that their child attended summer camps and enjoyed teamwork, and another describes the program as a daycare/preschool that opens at 8:00 am with flexible options such as full days, half days, and 3/4 days a week. Another testimonial highlights the curriculum and quality of care as “amazing” and calls it the best daycare/preschool they have used for their child.
