Greetings all,
This just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
09 IBC
308.5 Group I-4, day care facilities. This group shall include buildings and structures occupied by persons of any age who receive custodial care for less than 24 hours by individuals other than parents or guardians, relatives by blood, marriage or adoption, and in a place other than the home of the person cared for. A facility such as the above with five or fewer persons shall be classified as a Group R-3 or shall comply with the International Residential Code in accordance with Section 101.2. Places of worship during religious functions are not included.
Exception: A child day care facility that provides care for more than five but no 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.
This is the exception regarding Group I-4 daycare facilities. I don't get how caring for kids under 2 1/2 would differ from 5 year old kids under the same circumstances when a sprinkler system would be required for the 5 year olds and not the infants. That's just crazy. Or is it me that's crazy?
