This was motivated by the knowledge and understanding of parents regarding balanced nutrition for early childhood which has an important role for children because it will affect their growth and development. As an educational institution which was also a place for children to grow and develop, the school should also anticipate this by organizing an educational parenting activity as a means of disseminating knowledge and understanding of balanced nutrition for early childhood, so that parents can provide optimal and appropriate balanced nutrition consumption patterns for their children. Based on preliminary study conducted by researchers, it was known that the average parents at SPS Roudlotul Jannah, who was the participant in this research, still didn’t have optimal knowledge and understanding of balanced nutrition according to the needs of the child's body.
