    About Daybreak Independent Services, Inc.

    In 2010, Daybreak Independent Services opened its doors for individuals with developmental disabilities to learn and apply their skills in a traditional work setting.

    Partnerships with local businesses like Stew Leonard, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls have allowed the vision to grow exponentially. In addition, taking on residential programs has allowed us to serve those that need round-the-clock supervision.

    It's only the beginning. As we change lives every day, we are changed in the process. So the work continues, and we look forward to what lies ahead.
