They do that, plus they may lay infertile eggs so the tadpole will have something to eat.

Wow this is wonderful I cant remember the exact time but I know after a few months (give or take a few) the frogs will move their tadpoles to higher ground before they allow them to be on their own. Wonderful picture!
