If you entered an amount for After School Care, this will show up as a Child Care Expense deduction on Line 214 of your tax return. 

If you are filing as married/commonlaw, this deduction will be on the spouse with the "lower earned income". 

Here's some information on claiming childcare from TurboTax: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tips/claiming-child-care-expenses-5175
