@Frankz650 _ i didn't catch the nuance that while your question was about th "child care credit". in the body of your response you stated the child care FSA.
my response was solely about the child care credit and not the FSA.
The FSA permits expenses until the child reaches 13, so the expenses from the earlier part of year are fine. See "qualifying person(s)" section,
