Proposals by Medway Council in Kent will see four centres remain. These will become so-called "super hubs", based in areas where there is a high demand for support from families.
The super-hubs will offer children's centre services for children from birth to five, as well as wider family support for older children through "early help teams", involving youth and family support workers, child and adolescent mental health services and police.
The council said the move stems from a requirement to make savings of £963,000 from its early years budget.
The hubs will also be a base for outreach workers, who would visit families in their own homes. The buildings for the 15 children's centres that would close will be transferred to schools and academies.
