This article presents the results of the first phase of a study conducted at the Gonzalo Arango School (I.E:D) in the city of Bogota, Colombia. The sample consisted of 60 kindergarten children, 60 parents and eight participating teachers. In order to describe the state of resilient skills of early childhood children and their teachers, a qualitative research with descriptive design was carried out, applying semi-structured interviews through which the different situations experienced by the students at the emotional, economic, academic and social levels during the confinement generated by a pandemic (COVID-19) as well as what was experienced in the return to presentiality were described. The results show a great capacity of the children to recognize the situations experienced, to adapt to them and to enjoy the return to school. The parents expressed greater fear of returning to school while the teachers, who experienced difficult personal situations, carried out innovative pedagogical practices and applied community resilience by modeling skills in the children in their care.
