A deep understanding of the concept of successful toilet training requires a creative and interactive approach. One approach to introducing successful toilet training is through engaging and contextually enjoyable activities. The aim of this community service program is to enhance the knowledge and success of toilet training for children aged 2-3 years at the UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar Laboratory Daycare. This community service utilized the PAR (Participatory Action Research) method with stages including planning, action, observation, and reflection. The planning stage involved identifying toilet training issues, discussing with caregivers and parents, and designing interactive toilet training activities. The action stage involved implementing the designed toilet training activities. The observation stage involved monitoring and recording the children's progress during the toilet training process. The reflection stage involved evaluating the results of the toilet training and discussing improvements for the program. The community service program was conducted at the UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar Laboratory Daycare, located in Batusangkar. The results of this community service indicated that the program was effective in improving the success of toilet training among the children. The children showed improvement in their toilet training skills and a better understanding of the importance of toilet training. Additionally, caregivers and parents reported positive changes in the children's behavior related to toilet training. It is hoped that the daycare will adopt these interactive activities as an enjoyable method to introduce and reinforce successful toilet training practices for young children, thus providing them with essential skills from an early age.

This community service aims to enhance early childhood memory in hadith memorization through movement-based training. The participatory action research (PAR) method was employed, involving 20 young children as participants. The program was conducted in four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The results indicated a significant improvement in the participants' memory skills, with an overall increase of 45%. Initially, a considerable percentage of the children (45%) had poor competency, which was improved to a satisfactory level of 85%. In conclusion, the implementation of this training and support program effectively enhances early childhood memory in hadith memorization, demonstrating its potential as a valuable educational approach. Future programs could benefit from incorporating similar movement-based methods to foster cognitive development in young learners. Additionally, continued collaboration between educators and parents will further support the children’s progress and reinforce the skills learned during the training.
