Oranga Tamariki says it's working with the toddler's family to ensure she's cared for.
The girl was found when the bus stopped in Northland's Kaiwaka on Sunday, and Police say she's medically well.
A 27-year-old appeared in the North Shore District Court yesterday - where she didn't enter a plea, and was granted interim name suppression.
She returns to court this morning.
