Auburn Kids Learning Academy

Auburn Kids Learning Academy (AKLA), formerly known as Banana ELC, provides early childhood education and care services to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.

At Auburn Kids Learning Academy, we believe childhood is a time of wonder, identity, belonging and possibility. Our philosophy is grounded in the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework V2, the National Quality Standard, the Code of Ethics of Early Childhood Australia, the rights outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and Australia’s Child Safe Standards. 

We recognise children as capable, confident and active participants in their learning. We honour diversity in culture, language, abilities, identities and family structures, and we are committed to inclusive, equitable and respectful practices. We create environments and relationships that support children’s wellbeing, confidence and voice, while helping them learn to respect Country, their community and natural environment.

We believe every child has the right to feel safe, valued, heard and respected.
We commit to:
• Providing inclusive learning environments that support diverse abilities, learning styles and developmental needs.
• Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, recognising the importance of Country, culture and connection.
• Supporting children’s agency, voice and participation in decisions that affect them.
• Fostering play-based, inquiry-driven learning that nurtures identity, well-being, communication and thinking.
• Ensuring child safety through strong supervision, protective practices and a culture where children feel empowered to speak up.
We see children as co-constructors of knowledge who learn through relationships, exploration and meaningful experiences.

Now under new management, offering quality long-day care, before & after school care in Auburn with low gap fees.

We are open throughout the year, weekdays from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm
