Using a correlation analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers who took care of their own children aged 18-23 months in Bandung Village, Gedeg District, Mojokerto Regency in February 2016, with a purposive sampling technique and 35 respondents were obtained. Data collection used questionnaires and checklists. Data analysis used the Spearman Rho Test. The results showed that most respondents had sufficient knowledge about child development stimulation (51.4%) and almost half of respondents had moderate stimulation abilities (45.7%). There is a relationship between knowledge and mother's ability in stimulating child development aged 18-23 years in Bandung Village, Gedeg District, Mojokerto Regency, as evidenced by the results of the Spearman Rho Test, p value = 0.000 or <0.05 so that H1 is
accepted. The better the mother's knowledge about child development stimulation, the higher the mother's ability to carry out stimulation,
