The sample of 71 toddlers used the sampling technique of proportionate random sampling. Test data analysis using the chi-square test, continue correction, and alternative Fisher’s exact test. Results: This study showed a significant association between nutritional status (p = 0.04), history of chronic disease (p = 0.01), education (p = 0.04), history of childbirth (p = 0.03), stimulation (p = 0.04) with toddler development and there was no significant relationship between socioeconomic (p = 0.71) and toddler development. Conclusion: there is a relationship between nutritional status, history of chronic disease, education, history of childbirth, and stimulation with toddler development.
