Abstract

Background: Early childhood is a critical stage for developing independence in self-care; however, many children aged 2–3 years still experience difficulties in recognizing and practicing proper toilet training, highlighting the need for interactive and developmentally appropriate approaches. Aims: This community service program aims to enhance the knowledge and success of toilet training for children aged 2–3 years through interactive and engaging activities. Methods: This program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The planning stage involved identifying toilet training problems, conducting discussions with caregivers and parents, and designing interactive activities. The action stage focused on implementing toilet training practices through engaging and context-based activities. The observation stage involved monitoring and documenting children’s progress during the training process. The reflection stage included evaluating outcomes and identifying areas for improvement. Data were collected through observation and documentation and analyzed descriptively. Results: The results indicate improvements in children’s toilet training abilities, including increased independence, better understanding of toileting routines, and more consistent behavior. Children showed progress in recognizing the need to use the toilet and performing toileting activities with reduced assistance. Additionally, caregivers and parents reported positive behavioral changes and increased awareness of effective toilet training strategies. Conclusion: Interactive and context-based toilet training activities are effective in improving toilet training success among young children. The integration of structured activities, caregiver involvement, and continuous monitoring creates a supportive learning environment that promotes independence. This approach can be applied as an alternative method in early childhood care settings to support the development of essential self-care skills.

Abstract

The main issue addressed in this study is that early literacy skills in children aged 4-5 years at KB Kuntum Khaira Kota Padang Panjang Timur are still not optimal. This can be seen from the fact that some children still struggle to distinguish between letter shapes and sounds. The Alphabet and Picture Box Media (Kofabar) is one activity that can enhance early literacy skills in children. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Alphabet and Picture Box Media (Kofabar) has an effect on early literacy skills in children aged 4-5 years. The research method used is quantitative with an experimental design, specifically a one-group pre-test post-test design. The population for this study includes all children at KB Kuntum Khaira Kota Padang Panjang Timur, totaling 18 students. The sample for this study was determined using purposive sampling, with the sample consisting of 8 children from the Mekkah class. The instrument used is a checklist with assessment categories: Not Developed (BB), Starting to Develop (MB), Developing as Expected (BSH), and Developing Very Well (BSB). Data collection techniques include observation, and data analysis techniques involve normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing using the t-test. Based on the results of the study on the effect of the Alphabet and Picture Box Media (Kofabar) on early literacy skills in children aged 4-5 years, it was found that before the treatment, the average early literacy skill score was 10.12, and after the treatment, the average score was 20.25, showing an increase of 10.12. Statistical analysis with a significance level of 5% indicates that t0= 22.48 is greater than tt= 2.36 (t0= 22.48 >tt= 2.36), thus the null hypothesis (h0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (ha) is accepted, meaning the Alphabet and Picture Box Media (Kofabar) significantly affects early literacy skills in children. In conclusion, the Alphabet and Picture Box Media (Kofabar) has a significant effect on early literacy skills in children aged 4-5 years
