No, you should still claim child care expenses, for military child care centers, but you won't be able to e-file your return.
You'll need to actually print our and mail your return, and write "EXEMPT" where the childcare provider's TIN would normally be, since the IRS won't accept an e-filed return with "EXEMPT."
You might also try the IRS's page at Tax Exempt Organization Search to search for the provider there, just in case it's listed.
