Infant Daycare (6 weeks to 1 year)

At The Sunshine House of Little Elm, your baby will explore and learn in a nurturing, loving environment that provides the warmth and security your infant is used to receiving at home. In our infant daycare, we utilize the primary caregiver system. A specific teacher will be your baby’s main caregiver and will work closely with you to provide consistency with your existing feeding, playing and sleeping schedules. While your baby is playing, your infant is also learning. Using our individualized Brain Connect Infant Curriculum, each week your caregiver will create a lesson plan for your baby, tailored to your infant’s interests and development.

Our toddler daycare program is designed to respond to this unique stage of development.

Meet Our Director, Faren Manuel

My name is Faren Manuel and I’m the Center Director of The Sunshine House in Little Elm TX. I have been part of the Sunshine House family since 2010. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Sciences from the University of North Texas.

In my 10 plus years with the company, I have been blessed to learn so much and gain experience with all ages of children. I have my heart in every classroom of our building and cannot wait for what is to come. I believe as an educator we should cherish our children and value them as a whole. Children learn from interactions, and it is important to be a positive role model for them. I promise to listen and value the words of the children I care for and do my best to make a positive impact on the lives of every family.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going to concerts, and off-roading in my jeep.

We have awesome families here at our Little Elm location and an amazing team that I am so grateful to work with every day.

Meet Our Assistant Director, Stephanie Taylor

My name is Stephanie Taylor and I’m the Assistant Director of The Sunshine House in Little Elm Tx. I have been with the company since October 2015. I hold a Child Development Associate Credential in Infancy and Toddlers.

I spent most of my 7 years as the lead teacher in our infant room. In July 2022, I was given an opportunity to step up into the Assistant Director position, a big step that has blessed me with so much more knowledge that I’d ever hoped to gain. I truly enjoy coming to work every day. There is never a dull moment here at the center, and I always leave with a big smile on my face. All the credit goes to our wonderful teammates and loving families.

On my off-time I am a single mother to a fabulous and crazy 9-year-old girl. Together we like to visit friends and family. Going to the movies and walking the malls are also our top picks for entertainment. During what little alone time I get from my little mini me, I like to read, go to karaoke, and watch “Crime Stories.” Yes, I am that person.
