Yes, this "čke" combination is changed to "čce" for historical reasons. It used to be a soft ě and it caused the k to be softened to c.
Some other Slavic languages kept the k and have stuff like девочке where the e is actually soft (je).
But:
Ukrainian дівчинці
Polish dziewczynce
both change k -> c here. (Similar Czech is děvečce).
