Valley of the Sun School Properties Two

Our Story

In 1947, Mrs. Bernice Kussell recognized the unmet needs of children in Arizona state hospitals. Driven by hope and a vision for a better life, she opened her home to provide care for these children with developmental disabilities. As the demand grew, she founded Valley of the Sun School in 1949, which evolved into the Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center, and was rebranded as VALLEYLIFE in 2009. Today, VALLEYLIFE is dedicated to offering comprehensive care and support services to individuals with disabilities, fostering their integration into the community.
