One part of the community service program is the prevention of stunting that occurs in the community. Because most people do not understand correctly about stunting, and think that stunting or stunted, the term commonly used in society, is a hereditary factor. This community service activity is carried out to increase knowledge and understanding as well as community participation in the stunting prevention and early detection program in toddlers which is expected to directly motivate the community to participate in paying attention to the growth and development of their children so that their growth and development can be optimal. The method used is lecture, interactive, and question and answer.
