AbstractThis community service activity aimed to improve teachers’ and parents’ understanding and skills in conducting early developmental screening and providing stimulation according to children’s needs at Taman Penitipan Anak Islam Terpadu (TPAIT) Baitul Izzah, Bengkulu City. Monitoring children’s development needs to be strengthened, particularly in recognizing age-appropriate developmental indicators and using screening instruments appropriately. The activity employed a participatory approach consisting of preparation, socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation stages. The activities included material delivery, demonstrations of instrument use, practice in completing the instrument, observation of children’s development, interpretation of observation results, and examples of stimulation through play activities. The participants consisted of 10 teachers and 20 parents/guardians, resulting in a total of 30 participants. The results showed that participants gained experience in recognizing developmental indicators, using the instrument, understanding observation results, and determining stimulation according to children’s age and abilities. Quantitatively, the average pre-test score increased from 60% to 85% on the post-test. This activity strengthened teachers’ and parents’ ability to monitor children’s development more systematically and implement stimulation in daily activities at the childcare center and at home.
