The governement required that you sent kids to daycare because of :
1. working
2. full time study
3. looking for job

The allowed child care amount is choosen from the lowest amount from the following three item:
1. less than 7 years old $7000/child
2. certain percentage of your income
3. child care expense amount such as daycare or camp fee

If your income is zero, then you can not get any refund from 75% of the allowed child care amount.

Of course, if you still apply refund and government didn't check your income tax return, you will get refund. It is depend on your lucky or not.
