Can I claim daycare expenses if I am not claiming my daughter as a dependent?

Never married .
Do not live together.
Separated for 2 years.
We alternate years of claiming child.
Her mother has already claimed her.
I pay all of the daycare expenses so I can work.
No custody agreement.
Time spent with each parent is equal.

If i cannot claim daycare expenses this year can I claim them next year?
