WARRENSBURG, MO – The Child Development and Family Living undergraduate program at
the University of Central Missouri has met the standards and criteria required for
the provisional Certified Family Life Educator designation from the National Council
on Family Relations.
Graduates of this program now qualify to complete a CFLE-approved program application,
which will save them time and money over taking the CFLE Exam.
The program approval does not imply accreditation, but recognizes the inclusion of
relevant course work for each of ten family life content areas needed for the Provisional
Certified Family Life Educator designation.
The CFLE designation recognizes a broad, comprehensive range of issues constituting
family life education. It acknowledges the preventive focus of family life education
and assures that the designate has met or exceeded the high standards and criteria
needed to provide quality family life education.
The National Council on Family Relations' current CFLE's work in a variety of settings
including service agencies, mental health centers, colleges and universities, community
education, secondary and elementary schools, military family support centers, corporations,
family planning agencies, hospitals, day care centers, faith-based organizations,
education departments, and private practice.
NCFR, a member-funded, non-partisan educational and professional organization, is
in its second half-century of service to family professionals. In addition to its
member-based services and programs, NCFR publishes “The Journal of Marriage and Family,
Family Relations” and the “Journal of Family Theory and Review.”
