RIGHT SUPPLIES, READY TO GO
When routines are disrupted, your team may need to care for tamariki on site for longer than expected, or move quickly to another location. Having the right supplies packed and organised means staff can focus on the children in their care.
A plan provides direction, but practical resources help put it into action. The ECE Preparedness Backpack is built around the needs of younger tamariki, with supplies for food, water, first aid, hygiene, warmth and identification.

Questions, answered
Who is the ECE Preparedness Backpack for?

- Yes. Many organisations order this way. Get in touch and we will help with the paperwork.
Can you help with funding?
- In many cases, yes. We can provide quotes and supporting documentation for grant and funding applications.
Do we need to add our own nappies?
- Yes. The backpack includes a separate nappy bag, ready for your centre to fill with the nappies and any other personal-care items your tamariki use.
How is this different from the Classroom Backpack?
- The Classroom Survival Backpack is designed for school aged children and classrooms of up to 25 students. The ECE Preparedness Backpack is designed for younger tamariki, with formula, bottles, a change mat, dummies and a dedicated nappy bag.
