Child Care Tax Credit vs FSA for 2023

My company is offering a a FSA account to which I could contribute up to 5,000$ and I am evaluating if I should open one or not based on how advantageous (or not) it would be for my taxes in 2023.

 

I have two children and will be able to claim around 35,500$ of child care expenses. I am wondering how can I determine if it is better to open the FSA account for next year taxes or will I be loosing in terms of Child Care Tax Credit? 

 

Can someone break down the calculations?

 

Thank you!
