Great Bridge Child Care has two licensed daycare centers in Chesapeake, Virginia-but it's unlike any child care facility you've ever seen! From our purpose-designed and age-appropriate classrooms to our spacious fenced-in playgrounds with separate areas for children of different ages, everything about Great Bridge Child Care is designed to be safe, comfortable and nurturing for the children we care for.
But Great Bridge Child Care goes beyond offering excellent care and healthy meals. At both of our Chesapeake child care centers, experienced teachers use hands-on activities to teach children core academic skills that will help them excel in school and throughout life. Children also gain a familiarity with technology through interactive computer exercises and outside resource professionals brought in to teach.

Testimonials
Report
I sent my son to Great Bridge Child Care of Chesapeake VA from the age of two until he graduated. While he was there, I was amazed at the love and care that he received, and also by how much he grew (physically and emotionally) and how much he learned! It is difficult to leave your child and go back to work, but at GBCC, I wasn't leaving my son with strangers, it really felt like he was with family.
