You don't need the school's EIN to claim the child tax credit.   You need it if you are claiming the Dependent Care Credit.   But yes, you can skip that part now and come back to it later before you file.  Once you submit your returns, you can't go back and make any changes.   But before you file, you can skip around and jump around as needed.
