If you're eligible to take the tax break, you can choose to claim elder care either as a medical expense or as dependent care. If your mother is your dependent, you are eligible to deduct elder care as either medical expenses or dependent care, subject to IRS rules on the nature of the care.
I was reading about Child Care Expenses for income tax returns. It says that the fees paid to Private schools are not deductible as child care expenses other than the before and afterschool care. It also says that if payment for schooling is required when the child is not the compulsory age, then it may be deductible. In my case, my child would be in kindergarten in Ontario.
