The title is slightly incorrect, California is not forcing all children to get vaccinated pre-kindergarten. What they are doing is making a precondition of entering a public school, that your child be vaccinated. One important reason is to not expose other children, some of whom might not be able to be vaccinated because of medical reasons.
Children who medically shouldn't be vaccinated, will clearly not be required to be vaccinated (California maintains the medical exemption), and, those children will be able to hopefully be protected by herd immunity in California now that the other children who can be safely vaccinated are vaccinated.
A slightly more accurate (if less punchier) title would have been: "Children entering public school now required to be vaccinated unless medically exempt"
