Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects children’s physical growth and cognitive development and remains a major public health issue in Indonesia. This community service activity aimed to conduct early detection of stunting through anthropometric measurements among infants and toddlers at Posyandu Matahari, Haruru Village, Central Maluku Regency. The study used a descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design involving 31 infants and toddlers. Measurements included body weight, height/length, head circumference, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). The results showed that most children had normal nutritional status; however, some were identified with below-standard height and underweight conditions. Analysis based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards revealed a stunting prevalence of 32.3%, which falls into the very high category. This condition indicates the presence of chronic nutritional problems influenced by factors such as inadequate nutritional intake, suboptimal parenting practices, and a history of infectious diseases. Therefore, routine growth monitoring through community health posts is essential for early detection of stunting and for increasing community awareness in maintaining children’s nutritional status from an early age.
