To help your little one settle in and have a great day at Spotted Frog, here’s a quick checklist of what to pack each day:
A backpack that’s big enough to hold:
- A lunchbox
- A morning tea box
- A drink bottle
- 1–2 changes of clothes
- A wet bag (for any wet or messy clothes)
- Wet weather gear and warm layers in winter
- Nappies (if needed)
Please make sure everything is clearly named — this helps us keep track of all those tiny treasures!
Sun hats sorted!
No need to bring a hat during summer—we’ve got it covered. Your child will be given their very own named sunhat, and a small charge will be added to your account to cover the cost.

STRUCTURE OF THE DAY

Our Daily Routine

Activities are set up to welcome the children and support fine and gross motor development, interests of the children and the current planning of the centre. Children can participate in these or choose to engage in child directed play.
Children bring a morning tea box from home.
Children work in small groups with a specific teacher. This is a time to build dispositional learning and develop social competence alongside peers of the same age or developmental stage. For older children, a focus on school readiness is included.
Children bring lunchboxes from home to allow them to select food in a nutritionally appropriate order, how to regulate their eating and how to open containers and packaging.
This is a time to discuss current events, sing waiata (songs), take part in music and drama and read stories. Reflection on the day’s learning and story time.
Children who require a sleep are given the opportunity.
