In 1961 a group of mothers had a vision. They believed their special needs children deserved quality care and education and founded one of the first schools in Los Angeles County for children with Down syndrome. This school was a response to unmet community needs because no public schools at that time offered programs for children with developmental disabilities. The school was known as Pasadena Retarded Children's Foundation.

Through the years the school gained widespread community support and in 1966 the name was changed to Villa Esperanza, meaning "House of Hope." As the children grew, Villa expanded its vision to include adult residential, vocational, day programs and new locations in Ventura County. In 2000, "Services" was added to Villa's name to reflect a new vision of providing a range of services to a diverse, disabled population across the age continuum. The Adult Day Programs and Care Management program were added to serve our aging developmentally disabled adults, as well as vulnerable, at-risk adults and seniors.
