(a) In addition to Section 101215.1, the following shall apply:
(b) All school-age child care centers shall have a director.
(c) As an alternative educational prerequisite, any school-age director may substitute six of the units in early childhood education or child development required in Section 101215.1(h)(1)(B) with six units appropriate to elementary school-age children, on a unit-per-unit basis, in any one or a combination of the following:
(d) As an alternative educational prerequisite, the director of each school-age child care center that stands alone and each single license child care center operating with only school-age children may, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 1597.21, substitute 20 training hours for each of the required units of education in Section 101215.1(h)(1).

To verify course or training program approval, a certification on accredited educational institution letterhead that the course or training program has been approved shall accompany the completion certificate. This certification is only necessary for courses or training programs not offered by an accredited educational institution but approved by such an institution.
(f) A director as specified in (d) above may also complete alternative types of experience pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 1597.21. Such experience shall be verified as having been performed at least three hours per day for a minimum of 100 days in a calendar year.
