I have a question about a document that my daughter's daycare wants us to
sign. The daycare center is run by the state in which I live. The agreement states:

"In consideration of my child being permitted to use the INSTITUTION
facilities and equipment, I hereby accept all risk to my child's
health and of his/her injury or death that may result from such
participation. I hereby release the above named institution, its
governing board, officers, employees and representatives from any and
all liability to my child, my child's personal representatives,
estate, heirs, nect of kin, and assigns for any and all claims and
causes of action for loss of or damage to my child's property and for
any and all illness or injury to my child's person, including his/her
death, that may result from or occur at the INSTITUTION, whether caused by
negligence or the Institution, its governing board, officers,
employees or representatives, or otherwise. I further agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Institution, its governing board,
officers, employees or representatives from liability for the injury
or death of any person(s) and damage to property that may result from
my child's negligent or intentional act or omission while
participating in INSTITUTION activities."

My question is: Does signing such a waiver give up any and all rights I have to legal recourse if my child is hurt at her daycare due to negligence?

Thanks.
