As many as 10.31% of children experienced delays in immunization, and 17% of toddlers had malnutrition status.  The purpose of this service is to provide education for mothers who have toddlers to continue to monitor the nutritional status and immunization of children during a pandemic. The target of this activity is mothers who have toddlers and include members at the Sekolah Komplementer Cinta Ibu as many as 31 mothers. The provision of education is given through a whatsapp group, starting with extracting information about the nutritional status and immunization of children after providing material according to related problems, then giving a questionnaire to find out the level of maternal knowledge. The results showed that 32.26% of toddlers had incomplete basic immunization status, besides that there were still 6.45% with malnutrition status and 9.68% more nutrition, but after providing education, the mother's knowledge level was in the good category. Parents are empowered and aware of the health needs of children, so a quality generation will be created.   ABSTRAK Pandemi Covid-19 secara langsung berdampak pada kelangsungan pelayanan kesehatan anak.
