The City of Stockholm has developed a functional program for preschool premises to ensure high and equitable quality across all city preschools. This program provides common guidelines for planning, constructing, and renovating preschools, emphasizing safety, flexibility, sustainability, and children's needs for play and learning.

Instead, they will contact the sports administration to explore installing a tap on the outside of the adjacent sports hall.
