This type of quantitative research with analytic survey design. This study used a cross sectional approach, with the sampling used was purposive sampling technique. The results of the research on the variable role of health workers obtained a positive role as many as 49 people (55.1%), while the variable family support for respondents who supported as many as 52 people (58.4%). The statistical test results obtained by the value of p = 0.013, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the role of health workers and family support in early detection of toddler growth and development. Research on the provision of early stimulation in the first year of life is effective in increasing the mental and psychomotor development index of infants. In addition, the presence of children who experience delays during their growth and development can be caused by a lack of parental care in stimulating their growth and development.
