A safer online experience for children
We strive to make videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and use a combination of automated filters designed by our engineering teams, human reviews, and parental feedback to protect our youngest users online. But no system is perfect and inappropriate videos can get through. That’s why we’re constantly striving to improve our protections and offer more features to help parents create the right experience for their family.
Personalize your child’s experience with Parental Controls
Limit Screen Time: Set a time limit for your kids to watch and encourage their transition from watching to doing.
Keep up to date with what they’re watching: Just check out the review page and you’ll always know what they’ve been watching and what new interests they’re exploring.
Blocking: Don’t like a video? Block the video or the whole channel and never see it again.
Flagging: You can always alert us to inappropriate content by flagging a video for review. Flagged videos are reviewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Create individual experiences as unique as your children
Create up to eight child profiles, each with their own viewing preferences, video recommendations and settings. Choose ‘Approved Content Only’ mode or select an age category that matches your child, ‘Preschool’, ‘Younger’ or ‘Older’.
Select “Approved content only” mode if you want to select the videos, channels and/or collections that you have allowed your child to watch. In this mode, kids will not be able to search for videos. Preschool mode designed for ages 4 and under curates videos that promote creativity, play, learning and exploration. Young Mode lets kids ages 5-8 explore their interests in a wide variety of subjects, including songs, cartoons, and crafts. While our ‘Older’ mode gives kids ages 9 and up the ability to search and explore additional content such as popular music and kids game videos.
All kinds of videos for all kinds of kids
Our library is full of family-friendly videos on every topic, sparking your kids’ inner creativity and playfulness. It’s everything from their favorite shows and music to learning how to build a model volcano (or how to make slime ;-), and everything in between.
