Stunting remains a chronic nutritional problem that may affect the quality of Indonesia’s human resources in the future. One of the major determinants of stunting is mothers’ limited knowledge regarding parenting practices, balanced nutrition, and monitoring of child growth and development from an early age. This article aims to describe and analyze a maternal empowerment program through child growth and development education entitled “Strong Family Starts with a Strong Mother, Healthy Child”, conducted by KKN Group 121 of Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Ampel Surabaya (UINSA) at the Mangguan Village Hall, Pasrepan Subdistrict, Pasuruan Regency, on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. The program employed a participatory counseling approach combined with fun games and motor-skill competitions, as well as pre-test and post-test evaluations to assess participants’ knowledge. The target group consisted of 35 mothers with toddlers, with 23 participants attending (65.7%). The results indicate that the educational, interactive, and enjoyable approach improved participants’ understanding. Based on the simulated evaluation results, the average knowledge score increased from 62.17 in the pre-test to 82.61 in the post-test, representing an increase of 20.44 points or 32.88%. Improvements in understanding were also observed in balanced nutrition, parenting practices, immunization, growth and development monitoring, and stunting prevention. This activity represents cross-sector collaboration among students, the Mangguan Village Government, the Village Midwife, and Posyandu cadres, and is expected to serve as a sustainable community-based intervention model to accelerate stunting reduction at the village level.
