<![CDATA[However, proper handwashing practices among children remain suboptimal, particularly in soap use, correct handwashing steps, and duration. This community service activity aimed to improve children’s skills in practicing HWS through interactive songs at RA Al-Muyassar Miftahul Jannah. The activity was conducted on July 14, 2026, involving children aged 4–6 years using an edutainment approach through singing, dancing, demonstrations, and direct practice. Evaluation was conducted through participatory observation of soap use, accuracy of the six handwashing steps, and handwashing duration. The results showed that 100% of children used soap, approximately 85–90% were able to remember and perform the six steps correctly, and the 25–30-second song helped maintain handwashing duration. An educational poster was also installed near the handwashing area as a visual reminder. Interactive song-based education can be an engaging method for developing regular handwashing practices among preschool children as an effort to prevent diarrheal disease.]]>
