This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of posyandu cadres in monitoring toddler growth and development through leaflet-based health education. A total of 12 cadres participated in the activity using a one group pre-test post-test design, with questionnaires adapted from the Ministry of Health guidelines and previous studies. The pre-test results showed that 41.6% of cadres had poor knowledge, while after the intervention there was a significant improvement, with 83.3% categorized as having good knowledge. The average score increased from 60 to 85, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.005). The use of leaflets combined with direct counseling proved effective in enhancing cadres’ understanding, although variations remained due to differences in educational background, experience, and limited time allocation. This program highlights the importance of empowering cadres as the frontline in early detection of growth and development disorders, while continuous mentoring and supervision by health professionals are essential to ensure optimal and sustainable monitoring practices.
