Edukasi dan Pembiasaan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat pada Anak Usia Dini di TK Handayani Matabundu

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) needs to be introduced from an early age through direct experience and habituation suited to children's developmental characteristics. This community engagement activity aimed to implement and describe PHBS education and habituation at Handayani Matabundu Kindergarten, focusing on handwashing with soap and running water, personal and environmental hygiene, and proper waste disposal. The activity involved 22 children aged 5–6 years and was carried out over six weeks through simple education, demonstrations, repeated hands-on practice, teacher assistance, and direct observation during the sessions. Four teachers also provided feedback on children's responses and the continuation of habituation at school. During the activity, children showed positive engagement, followed instructions, and attempted the PHBS practices introduced. Teachers supported the activity by assisting, demonstrating, and reminding children during practice. These results describe the implementation and immediate responses observed during the activity. Continued habituation after the activity was not specifically monitored, and no structured pre- and post-activity evaluation was available; therefore, long-term behavioral change cannot be concluded.
