The IRS has made the determination that a 5-year-old child in school is considered to be in a kindergarten level class. The cost of the services for instructional education is not reimbursable. If a 5-year-old child or younger does not receive instructional education for a full day, but instead receives daycare services for a portion of that day, the provider must itemize a receipt with the hours of education and the hours of daycare services. The cost for the hours of daycare is reimbursable under your Flexible Spending Account. The cost for the hours of educational instruction is not reimbursable.
Official explaination: If a 5-year-old child or younger does not receive instructional education for a full day, but instead receives daycare services for a portion of that day, the provider must itemize a receipt with the hours of education and the hours of daycare services. The cost for the hours of daycare is reimbursable under your Flexible Spending Account. The cost for the hours of educational instruction is not reimbursable. Never say "of course" without double checking.

If your Kindergarten provides detailed reciepts explaining which hours are for educational purposed and which hours are for care services, the later one can be reimbursed. Some private Kindergartens do that (full day program).
I said "kindergatern has full day program", not what you said (half day kind + half day daycare". Never say "never" before you read what others talking about.

My daughter was in public full day kindgarten program. public half day kindgarten is free, full day need to pay about $4000 per school year (some school district has free full day kindgarten program), which is not FSA. full day program run from 8:30 to 3:30. We still need to pay extra for before / after care, which can be FSA.
