In the Search box type "daycare" (without the quotes), then click the link that says "Jump to daycare."

Before you try to work on the childcare credit, make sure you have entered the income you received from working. The childcare credit will not work if you have not entered your income. If you are filing a joint return you have to show income for both spouses, and if any of it is self-employment with a loss, you will not get the credit.
