No, you need to enable excerpts on pages (this is not enabled by default). One way of doing this is to put the following in your theme functions file.
add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );
Thank you. Can I find that in the child theme?

If you put it in the Child Theme’s functions.php file it should work.
I added this code to my child them function file but it didn’t work.

Are you certain? When you go to edit the page, is the excerpt editor shown at all? Either on the page or as a checkbox in screen options?
I don’t see it. Maybe I’m missing it. Happy to provide credentials if this is private.

If you look at the Rich Text Excerpt plugin settings, it should now have an option to enable the plugin for pages. If this option isn’t present, your installation still does not support excerpts for pages. If you have added post type support for excerpts to pages in your child theme as above, the only conclusion I can draw is that something else (another plugin or the parent theme) is removing support for excerpts on pages after your child theme adds it.
