Can I claim childcare expense withouty claiming my child

Maybe.  If you have allowed the child's other parent to claim the child through Form 8332, because the other parent does not live with you, then you and only you can claim Dependent Care Credit and Earned Income Credit.

Otherwise you would not be able to claim the credit without claiming the child as a dependent on your return.
