ABSTRACT: Early childhood education's effect on resilience is vital for understanding how early educational experiences help children develop the ability to cope with challenges and adversity. This study explores how early childhood education programs influence resilience development. The objectives are to (1) assess improvements in children's coping skills and emotional resilience, (2) evaluate the integration of resilience-building activities in early childhood education curricula, and (3) examine changes in children's responses to stress and adversity. A survey design is justified as it enables comprehensive data collection on educational impacts on resilience. A purposive sample of 110 children from preschools in Adamawa State was used. The case study focuses on a preschool known for its resilience-building programs. Findings indicated significant improvements in children's coping skills and emotional resilience, the effectiveness of resilience-building activities, and positive changes in children's responses to stress and adversity. Recommendations included integrating resilience-building activities into early childhood curricula and training educators to support children's resilience development.
