My child care providers didn't provide their SSN but did provide tax ID numbers, where can i enter those?

Yes, the Employer Identification Number(EIN) and Federal Tax Identification Number(FTID) are the same thing.

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is also known as a Tax ID, and is used to identify a business entity.
