The Frogs Lodge

Child Care Find lists The Frogs Lodge in Austral, who continued to provide excellent After School Care service, education and support for the children and their families of Austral Australia.

The Frogs Lodge is a 29 place, long daycare provider located in a rural setting in Austral. Within the purpose built, spacious and modern building, Director Nicole Bucca oversees a small team of caring, professional staff who between them all have over 35 years of experience in various early childhood settings. The staff have all been part of the Frogs Lodge family since it opened in 2007.

Taking advantage of the rural surrounds, the children have the opportunity to tend to a veggie patch and herb garden. There is even a chicken coop where we take the children on nature walks and collect the eggs. The Frogs Lodge provides healthy morning and afternoon tea options, and children are asked to bring along only a lunch meal.

The centre consists of two rooms; the Tadpoles room (for children 0-3 years) and the Frogs room (for 3-5 year olds). The Frogs room is further divided into Green Frogs (3-4 year olds) and Red Frogs (4+ year olds), in which we provide a program suitable for those children attending school the following year.
