<![CDATA[This community service program was motivated by parents’ limited understanding of early signs of speech delay and the importance of language stimulation during early childhood. The program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge, skills, and awareness in supporting their children’s language development. The method used was a participatory educational approach based on community empowerment through interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and experience sharing. The participants were 20 mothers of students at PAUD Hidayatul Mubtadiin, Malang Regency. Program evaluation was conducted through participatory observation, documentation, and participant feedback. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of child language development stages and early indicators of speech delay. A total of 90% of participants reported that the material was easy to understand, 80% actively participated in discussions, and 75% were able to practice simple language stimulation techniques such as read-aloud activities and interactive communication. In addition, positive changes in parental attitudes and stronger social support among participants were observed. This educational program proved effective as a preventive effort to optimize early childhood language development.]]>
