Meet Our Director, Faren Manuel

Hi, I'm Faren Manuel, and I have been part of the Sunshine House family since 2010. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Development and Family Sciences from the University of North Texas.

In my 14 plus years with the company, I’ve worked with children of all ages and have a deep passion for every classroom I’m part of. As an educator, I believe in cherishing and valuing children, being a positive role model, and making a lasting impact on their lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to concerts, and off-roading in my jeep. I’m grateful for our amazing families and team at our Little Elm location!

Meet Our Assistant Director, Stephanie Taylor

My name is Stephanie Taylor, and I have been with the Sunshine House since 2015. I hold a Child Development Associate Credential in Infancy and Toddlers.

I spent much of my time here as the lead teacher in our infant room, and became the Assistant Director in 2022. I truly enjoy coming to work every day. There is never a dull moment here, and I always leave with a big smile on my face. All the credit goes to our wonderful teammates and loving families.

I am a single mother to a fabulous daughter. Together we enjoy visiting friends and family, going to the movies, and walking the malls. During what little alone time I get from my little mini me, I like to read, go to karaoke, and watch “Crime Stories.”
