Abstract. Early childhood is a critical period for physical and developmental growth, so monitoring growth and development should be accompanied by adequate nutrition education. This study aimed to support early detection of growth and development and improve parents’ and teachers’ understanding of preschool children’s nutrition, growth, development, and stimulation at PAUD Riesya, Central Jakarta. Methods included observation, anthropometric measurement, interviews, developmental screening, demonstration, health education, discussion. Growth assessment included weight and height measurements, while developmental screening used Stimulation, Detection, and Early Intervention of Growth and Development (SDIDTK) and the Denver Developmental Screening Test II (Denver II), covering personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, language, and gross motor domains. Health education was delivered through an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based animated video entitled “Anak Sehat, Aktif, dan Cerdas: Panduan Praktis Memenuhi Gizi Anak Usia Prasekolah di Rumah.” Materials covered balanced nutrition, Isi Piringku, animal protein, fruit and vegetables, healthy breakfast and snacks, picky eating, limiting sugar, salt, and fat, growth monitoring, warning signs of nutritional problems, and the role of the family. Evaluation was supported by pre-test and post-test instruments, discussion, and documentation. The study is expected to strengthen parents’ and teachers’ understanding and support follow-up recommendations for children requiring further monitoring or referral.
