決して「英文法理論」(??)に基づいてはいませんが、現実的には以下のように考えれば良いと思います。
【基本文】
① There are [many(原級) male teachers] in a preschool. 幼稚園には多くの男性教師がいます。
② There are [many(原級) female teachers] in a preschool. 幼稚園には多くの女性教師がいます。
【同等比較文】
There are as [many(原級) male teachers] as female teachers in a preschool.
考え方：
1. many male teachers/many female teachers：一塊として捉える　
2. 同等比較表現は "as 原級 as" なので、後ろの as many female teachers の many は省略する

It is rare for a preschool to have an equal number of male and female teachers. の方が簡潔だと思います。
