Those kids need universal preschool as early as possible, with transportation and flexible start times. It has to be field trip based, not classroom based. Lots of hands on new experiences, reading to the kids, and no academic stuff until K. Low teacher student ratio too. 
Their problem (besides lower IQ levels) is that their background knowledge is so narrow. They need field trips to the local parks, adults speaking to them beyond purely everyday things, learning some academic language. 
Some kids need counseling due to SN and trauma. 
This would cost a ton though, and stupid admin doesn’t understand the importance of it anyway.

Universal preschool means that ALL kids get free preschool.  It means providing space and staff for ALL kids, even middle class and wealthy kid to attend preschool for free (well, paid for using taxpayer dollars).

You want free preK for lower-income kids and recent immigrants.  This is ALREADY offered.  And transportation is provided.  Not flexible start times, but not sure how much of a difference that would make anyway.  [/quote]
