YouTube kids is a good app if you want your kids to watch age-appropriate content, without the like/comment focus of standard YouTube. You can create profiles based on age groups (Preschool: 4 and under, Younger: 5-8, Older: 9-12) to filter content.
The parental control software can also be installed on a computer or phone.
With a reliable VPN you can watch YouTube Kids even if it’s not available in your country. Remember, while they bypass geo locks, using VPNs can limit some of the other functions in your device, so make sure to turn the VPN off when you are done.
