Public preschool providers are subject to the requirements of this part 3. Because of the unique circumstances presented by preschool classrooms provided by school districts and charter schools, which circumstances do not arise in classrooms for older children and youth, the department shall license public preschool providers only to protect the health and safety of children in public preschool classrooms. Notwithstanding any provision of this part 3 to the contrary, licensing for public preschool providers must focus only on those aspects of the preschool program and environment that affect children's health and safety and are not already actively regulated by other federal or state agencies or departments. The department shall align any requirements for the license related to qualifications or credentialing of program staff with the requirements for an early childhood endorsement for a license issued by the department of education pursuant to article 60.5 of title 22.
