Abstract
Background: Early childhood is a critical period for the formation of healthy living behaviors to prevent disease transmission. However, observations at TK Cut Nyak Dien revealed a lack of sanitation facilities and low student knowledge regarding proper handwashing techniques. Objective: This community service program aims to optimize Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) through education and improvement of sanitation facilities at the school. Method: The activities were carried out in three stages: preparation (coordination and procurement of facilities), implementation (interactive counseling, demonstration of the six-step handwashing technique, and installation of automatic faucet sinks), and evaluation. Educational media used included audiovisual, posters, and leaflets. Result: The activities held on November 12, 2025, showed a significant increase in PHBS knowledge for students and guardians. Before the intervention, most participants did not understand the correct handwashing steps; however, after the education, they were able to demonstrate them independently with high enthusiasm. Additionally, a clean water and sanitation system and automatic sinks have been installed to support hygiene practices at the school. Conclusion: The integration of sanitation infrastructure provision and health education has proven effective in increasing PHBS awareness. This program is expected to be a long-term investment in creating a healthy school environment and supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
