Stimulation, Early Detection, and Intervention of Growth and Development (SDIDTK) was an activity to monitor growth and development and deviations or disorders of toddler development. Cadres' primary task is to monitor toddlers' growth and development. SDIDTK coverage in the working areas of Public Health Centre Langsat and Sidomulyo is still below the target, namely 65.0% and 65.4%, respectively. The research aimed to analyze the factors related to performing cadres: knowledge, ability, attitude, motivation, infrastructure, and supervision. The research used quantitative analytics with a cross-sectional study approach. Sampling was taken from all active cadres in the Langsat and Sidomulyo Puskesmas working areas, totaling 230 cadres. Data analyses used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions. The results showed that the number of performing cadres was less in SDIDTK by 48.7%. The variables that were significantly related to performing cadres were attitude (p-value = 0.006 POR = 1.342), motivation (p-value = 0.00 POR = 9.05), and supervision (p-value = 0,000 POR = 37.66). This study concludes that the dominant factor related to cadres' performance in the SDIDTK program is supervision. For this reason, advocacy, atmosphere building, empowerment of community movements, and partnerships are needed to improve cadres' performance in the SDIDTK program for toddlers.
