Currently, medical information systems are so various, but there is rare to assist the medical personnel especially in helping early childhood development.

This early childhood development decision support system research aims to facilitate medical personnel (health centers) in determining and monitoring of early childhood development.

While the methods used in decision an early childhood development status is a method of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) that a comprehensive model of decision-making with multiple criteria, the AHP model is a comprehensive model of decision making. Priorities are taken to decide the status of the development of correct answers is half the value of the number of questions. So that the developmental status is determined based on the statement /question criteria. Based on the results of the test system, medical personnel (health centers) can easily determine and monitor from the system in determining the status of early childhood development.
