You can also offer YouTube via whitelisting channels. It can be done.
Only on YouTube kids (unless somethings changed, in which case let me know), unfortunately a lot of good educational content (especially as kids get slightly older) is only on YouTube (for example my daughter plays a musical instrument in a kids orchestra and is often assigned/wants to watch videos of the mostly classical pieces she’s learning, those are only on YouTube, not YouTube kids, and they generally don’t have content age set so makes it hard to even use the age filters).
At least Google, finally as of earlier this year, allowed you to put some limits on shorts content via Family Link (this is previously why we went through several cycles of enabling then disabling YouTube for the older kids, fine for a while but then a couple of weeks later they are spending their entire YouTube allotment time scrolling shorts.).
