You want smarter kids...have free prenatal care.
Affordable child care with ratios that allow the child to be read to.
Universal preK with qualified teachers.
Fully funded reading programs with student teacher ratios that don't look like long shots at the Kentucky derby.
School library with money for books.

All those will effectively increase the nurture side of IQ
