I have a qualifying dependent care payment made in 2018 but covers care from Sep 2018 trough May 2019. Do I enter the entire payment amount or pro-rate for 2018 service?

You will pro-rate the payment and enter only the amount covering the 2018 care on your 2018 return and reporting the remainder when you file your 2019 return.
