Penguatan Edukasi Anak Usia Dini dan Pencegahan Stunting Berbasis Komunitas di Gampong Lamglumpang

Abstract

This community service aims to increase community awareness and capacity in preventing stunting through an early childhood education approach in Gampong Lamglumpang, Banda Aceh City. The method employed is direct collaboration with PAUD, Polindes, and village officials through interactive education, supplementary feeding, clean living practices, and creative learning activities. Activities were conducted in October 2023 using a participatory approach. The results showed an increase in parents' and children's understanding of healthy eating patterns, the importance of hygiene, and the active role of early childhood education in stunting prevention. It is recommended that similar activities be carried out regularly and integrated into village programs.
