XSTREAM Learning Center Camps operates as a Certified Childcare Center with a modern equipped classroom furnished with wide-open windows and transparent doors and uses a community park as an outdoor recess area. The program offers a Mandarin-English dual immersion and STEM-based curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, with open enrollment and a stated welcome for all students and their families regardless of gender, race, color, national, and ethnic origin. The XSTREAM curriculum includes cross cultural communication, science, technology, reading and writing, engineering, arts and music, and mathematics, and arts and music projects are described as an essential part of the curriculum.

XSTREAM Learning Center was founded in 2017, moved in May 2019 to a space twice the size of the original center, and has offered kindergarten since 2021. The leadership team includes Emily Palmer as Founder and Owner, Helen as Director, Teacher Gao as Chinese Teacher and Sub-Director, Teacher Bi as Chinese and Music Teacher, and Teacher Laura as Preschool Teacher. The stated 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 the program states that the XSTREAM curriculum is viewed as the key for students to becoming contributing members of a high-tech, diverse, and highly connected society of the future.

The site offers Summer Camp, Winter Camp, and No School Day Camps in cooperation with Engineering for Kids and follows the PPS school district calendar for No School Day Camps.
