LaFarris has been active in Early Childhood Education for over 25 years as the founder of Loving Arms Childcare & Preschool in Junction City, Kansas. That role prepared her for her next journey, where she has helped countless families. She is an active listener who knows that listening is just as important as teaching when she is with a family that is hurting and in need of help.
Coming from a place of compassion and understanding, LaFarris understands that stress can come from many different places, increasing the burden families already bear. She is determined to make a difference for these families, helping them find new and better ways to communicate and work together as a family.
The CFLE credential is awarded by the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). The program is for professionals who have experience in family life education settings, including teaching, community education, public information and education, curriculum and resource development, health care, and others. The CFLE credential requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. LaFarris has surpassed this requirement and holds two degrees and many certifications.
As a CFLE, LaFarris uses an approach based in education and prevention to help clients grow their communication skills, develop positive self-esteem, learn how to make good decisions, and to build healthy relationships.
