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.
With more than 15 years at Sunshine House, I’ve had the privilege of working with children across all age groups. My passion for early childhood education is reflected in everything I do—from leading a dedicated team to fostering a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child in our care. I believe in the power of positive relationships, both with families and staff, and in leading by example to create a strong, supportive community.
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, Madison Jayne
Hi, I’m Madison Jayne! Originally from California, I’ve been living in Texas since 2021 and got married in December 2024. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology with a minor in child and family studies from the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.
Working with children has always been my passion. I started as a Pre-K teacher at The Sunshine House and am now proud to serve as Assistant Director. It’s been a joy to help children grow and learn while growing as an educator myself.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and our three cats—Archie, Bean, and Georgie. I love aquariums, baking, listening to music, and traveling, and I’ve had the chance to visit the UK, Japan, Mexico, and much of the U.S.
