Child expenses you can claim on taxes
I know you can child care but can you claim nursery school?
Anything else you can claim?

Nursery school would fall under the category of qualifying child care expenses, so yes, you can claim it.
You are limited to $3,000 of expesnes per year per child (or $6,000 for 2 or more children) and you must have earned income. Like most tax credits, everything is phased out as your income gets higher.

I think you can claim it instead of daycare - but I believe both parents have to work to get it.
