Jacksonville Children's Commission
 Welcome to the Jacksonville Children’s Commission!
Created in 1994 as an expression of the community’s commitment to children and to a vibrant, safe and prosperous future, the Jacksonville Children’s Commission, also known as JaxKids, is an autonomous entity of the City of Jacksonville. Operating under the philosophy that children are assets in the making, our goal is to help Jacksonville's families grow great kids into well-educated, independent members of the community, building a better future one child at a time. This is accomplished by sponsoring research-based programs to help ensure that children from birth to age 18 have stable, nurturing families; are prepared to enter kindergarten and succeed in school; have support and guidance during out-of-school times; and get extra help when and if they need it. |

Welcome to the JaxKids Book Club!

Children who are enrolled in the VPK program DO NOT need to register—they will be automatically registered through a secure partnership with the Early Learning Coalition. All other Duval County 4-year-olds, who attend non-VPK childcare centers may be registered by clicking on the Book Club logo.
