Can I claim childcare expenses from a church preschool for my 3 year old while I worked? I don't have a tax id number for the church...

Ask the church for one--they surely have a Tax ID. In order to get the childcare credit you must enter a Tax ID for the childcare provider.

Yes you need to ask the church for their tax ID. Better yet, they should give you a receipt showing paid expense, address and tax ID.
