You are correct. VA only allows the Child and Dependent Care deduction for expenses paid while resident in VA. In the VA state interview, edit the "Income" section and scroll down to the "Home" section and revisit the Child and Dependent Care topic. There you can enter zeros in the boxes for you and your spouse as applicable.
Here is an extract from the VA PY Instructions.
"Child and Dependent Care Expenses: Enter the child and dependent care expenses paid while you were a Virginia resident on which the federal credit for child and dependent care expenses is based."
