Various challenges still hamper early childhood education (PAUD) services, especially in rural areas such as Cempaga Village, Buleleng Regency. Low nutritional literacy, limited understanding of children's mental health, and the lack of integration of religious moderation values are key issues. This community service activity aims to develop and implement the Holistic-Integrative Healthy School Program as an intervention model. Specifically, the program aims to increase the capacity of PAUD educators, parents, and integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres through training in developing a Holistic-Integrative Healthy School program based on four main components: early childhood nutrition, mental health, physical fitness, and religious moderation values. The program involved 30 participants, including PAUD teachers, parents, Posyandu cadres, and local community leaders. Data collection was conducted through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), field notes, and pre- and post-training questionnaires. Instruments included observation sheets, interview guides, FGD guides, and training impact evaluation questionnaires. Qualitative data were analyzed using a reflective-descriptive approach, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Quantitative data from the questionnaire were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics to assess changes in participants' knowledge and skills before and after the program. Results showed increases in participants' understanding of the concept of healthy schools, their ability to develop healthy menus using local foods, and moderate communication practices between teachers and parents. This program successfully established a cross-sector collaborative network that supports holistic and sustainable child development in Cempaga Village.
