No. The deductible amount of the Child and Dependent Care Credit is the amount of a dependent's care paid so that you could work or look for work. The time you paid for daycare for social interaction or for time to yourself is not deductible. You can only deduct the amount of daycare needed when you worked an earlier shift or out of state.
