A lot of challenges facing society today directly influence the family life, in particular, the lives of children. The extent and the manner in which children cope with these challenges reflect on the development of their psychological resilience. This paper aims to define the concept of psychological resilience and to explain both the risk and protective factors that influence it. The basis for this paper is Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory of development which puts emphasis on the observation of individuals in all systems (the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem and the macrosystem) that surround them and influence their social interactions. Preschool as the first institution that provides early and preschool education must also be the first instance for the development of resilience from the earliest age. A preschool teacher represents an important protective factor in the development of psychological resilience in children and as such has to continually improve and build his or her own resilience. This paper discusses the Rescur Curriculum: surfing the waves which was developed to empower children and help them develop skills and techniques to build on their own strengths. In addition, the curriculum provides preschool and primary school teachers with a set of structured activities which focus on developing a growth mindset and building on personal strengths in every child. Practical implementation of the Resilience Curriculum is demonstrated on a group of preschool children during the implementation of the first two Curriculum themes Developing communication skills and Establishing and maintaining healthy relationships. The documentation and the evaluation forms collected in the course of the Curriculum implementation show the learning outcomes for each theme as well as to what extent the children have developed their psychological resilience.
