What Parents Say
Perkins Professional Day Care Inc. receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from long-term families who praise the owner Elretha and staff for their genuine care, nurturing environment, and commitment to children's development. Many reviewers are former students themselves, now adults, who credit the daycare with shaping their childhoods. Two negative reviews cite communication issues and unspecified concerns.
I grew up at this daycare, and Elretha was a huge part of my childhood and development. This place was never just about supervision — it was about growth, structure, and genuinely caring for children as whole people. Looking back, I realize how intentional everything was, even if we didn’t fully understand it as kids. We were exposed to so many experiences beyond the classroom — tutoring, bowling, skating, putt-putt golf, pictures on real horses, gymnastics, ballet, tap, arts and crafts, and meaningful field trips. There was always encouragement to learn, to try new things, and to carry ourselves with discipline and confidence. Even the daily routines and meals reflected consistency and care. She supported us from babies through our teenage years and into young adulthood. As an adult now, I can truly appreciate how rare that level of commitment is and how much it shaped so many of us. I will always be grateful for the role she played in my life and for the foundation she helped build for generations of children in this community.
This lady has practically help raise me... ive stayed in her home, ive been at the daycare for a long time even when it was just 1 building. This woman has ALWAYS cared for ANYONE she's EVER crossed paths with and even giving her love to strangers. Shes NEVER HAD A BACKGROUND AND ALWAYS HAS SERVED OUR COMMUNITY WITH A WHOLE HEART TO EVERYONE. I stand with you "mama Rea" I thank you and love you for caring for all of us!!!
I highly recommend this day care!! I started going there with my brother when Elre first stated her business (I am 42 now). Then my kids went there. Never a problem and Elre made us feel like her kids, part of her family. I still love her to this day!!!
