Can I count Karate class expense as child care expense for my daughter if it was during working hours?

Probably not. The IRS requires:

Expenses are [deductible] for the care of a qualifying person only if their main purpose is the person's well-being and protection.

The IRS says these type of fees are deductible only if:

...activities are incidental to the childcare, and their cost cannot be separated from the cost of care

Publication 503 for more information:
