Abstract

This paper discusses a community service program aimed at empowering parents and strengthening the Paguyuban Orang Tua Murid dan Guru (POMG) at PAUD Citra Mandiri, Desa Cilayang, Kecamatan Curugbitung, Kabupaten Lebak - Banten. The program responds to the gap between children’s developmental needs and the limited stimulation provided both at school and home. Teachers were found to rely on conventional learning methods, while parents lacked practical guidance in supporting early childhood development. To address these challenges, a contextual parenting module was designed as the main output of the program. The module provides hands-on strategies for parents to apply positive parenting practices at home, aligned with the Standar Tingkat Pencapaian Perkembangan Anak (STPPA). The program was implemented through stages of socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation, involving teachers, parents, and POMG as key stakeholders. Results indicate improved teacher competence in exploratory learning, enhanced parental literacy in child stimulation, and stronger collaboration within POMG as a community-based forum. This initiative contributes to creating a sustainable ecosystem of early childhood education that promotes holistic development and aligns with SDGs 3, 4, and 17.
