This community service program, aligned with the Tridharma of Higher Education, aimed to enhance the English vocabulary skills of children at Brigjen Katamso Kindergarten in Medan. Conducted by Santo Thomas Catholic University, North Sumatra, the initiative employed multimedia tools such as images, sounds, and videos to create an engaging learning environment. A situation analysis was performed to understand the school's conditions and tailor the program effectively. The program's objectives included increasing children's interest in learning English, making English learning enjoyable, and expanding their vocabulary. The implementation involved interactive activities, pronunciation exercises, and word-composing games over two days. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' vocabulary and motivation to learn English. The program successfully fostered a positive and collaborative learning environment, demonstrating the impact of multimedia in educational settings and strengthening the relationship between the university and the community.
