Private school tuition

[amweddle]

Can private school tuition or after school care be counted towards the Child and Dependent Care Credit? If so, how do I add this if I have not received any documentation from my son's school?
thanks

Expenses for a child in nursery school, preschool, or similar programs for children below the level of kindergarten are expenses for care.

Expenses to attend kindergarten or a higher grade aren't expenses for care. Don't use these expenses to figure your credit.   However, expenses for before- or after-school care of a child in kindergarten or a higher grade may be expenses for care.   Summer school and tutoring programs aren't for care.
