Residential Manager

About Daybreak Independent Services, Inc.

In 2010, Daybreak Independent Services (DBIS) commenced operations to provide individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to acquire and apply their skills within a traditional work environment. Since its inception, Daybreak has broadened its mission across multiple locations, thereby accommodating an increasing number of individuals and expanding service offerings. DBIS currently serves hundreds of New Yorkers living with developmental disabilities.

Collaborations with local businesses such as Stew Leonard's, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls have significantly contributed to the organization’s growth and vision. Furthermore, the introduction of residential programs has enabled DBIS to support individuals requiring continuous supervision.

This is merely the beginning. As we positively impact lives every day, we too undergo transformation in our approach. Thus, the work continues, and we anticipate the opportunities that the future holds.
