Sorry forgot this portion
308.6.1 Classification as Group E.
A child day care facility that provides care for more than five but not more than 100 children 21/2 years or less of age, where the rooms in which the children are cared for are located on a level of exit discharge serving such rooms and each of these child care rooms has an exit door directly to the exterior, shall be classified as Group E.
If a facilty can meet this arrangement than sprinklers normally go away
