The kindergartens are used in a variety of ways in undergraduate teaching in developmental psychology, while the CSC Clinic resources form an integral part of both undergraduate and M. Psych training in assessment, interviewing and counselling. 

Each year children in the kindergartens are involved in a number of research projects, either as participants in studies of young children, or to help students or staff refine materials and instructions for studies that will be completed elsewhere.
Currently the Child Study Centre has a research partnership agreement with the Early Childhood Directorate of the Education Department of Western Australia with the goal of “furthering research and collaboration on best practice in early childhood education in Western Australia”. A recent research contract with the Early Childhood Directorate resulted in a variety of products:
