Cities with dense populations, such as Manggarai Village in South Jakarta, still face stunting as a major chronic nutritional issue. Based on the Stunting Raid activities in 2025, the South Jakarta Administrative City Government reported that out of 64,213 toddlers who were weighed and measured, 794 toddlers were stunted. Mouth Closure Movement (GTM) in toddlers is a cause of nutritional deficiency, one of which is due to the lack of oral (oromotor) stimulation. This community service activity aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of parents and Posyandu cadres in performing oral motor stimulation as a preventive measure against GTM and stunting. The implementation methods include stunting counseling, oromotor stimulation education, oral physiotherapy intervention practice, and pre-, post-, and satisfaction survey evaluations. This activity was attended by 23 parents and child respondents. The evaluation results show an increase in the participants’ understanding level, with an average pre-test score of 54.2 (±10.2) rising to 88.6 (±5.2) in the post-test and a 100% increase in the passing rate (score >80 points) after the activity. The main strength of this program, evidenced by the highest score on the indicator "benefit of oromotor stimulation practice" (4.95). Additionally, the satisfaction level of the participants with the implementation of the activities was categorized as excellent (average score 4.86/5.00). This activity demonstrates an increase in the capacity of the community to perform independent oromotor stimulation as an effort to prevent GTM and stunting.
