Massage stimulation is a traditional therapy of the Indonesian, which combines auditory, visual and tactile kinesthetic stimuli, which can be given from early to unlimited age. Preschoolers not only need education and protection, but also need stimulation for their growth and development. Massage stimulation for preschoolers in addition to relaxing the child is also reducing stress, increasing immunity, stimulating the vagus nerve, also increasing growth by stimulating cell growth. This research aims to determine the effect of massage stimulation on the anthropometric size of preschoolers. This research method uses true experimental design with pre and posttest with control group design. The number of samples was 25 respondents of integrated early childhood education programs (PAUD) Integrated Anggrek Merpati which divided into 2 groups, 13 children in the massage stimulation group and 12 children in the control group. Data analysis uses Paired Samples Test and Independent Samples Test. The results obtained a significant value of p = 0,000 or p <0.05 in the treatment group, but in the two control groups there was no difference in anthropometric measurements of height and head circumference p> 0.05. In conclusion, there was the effect of massage stimulation on body weight, height, upper arm circumference and head circumference. But the height and head circumference were not found differences in the two groups. Researcher suggests further case studies with a larger sample size. So that massage in preschoolers can be used as a reference as growth stimulation for stunting prevention.
