I have screen time limits set up for my kids, but I don't want to just set a time limit on apps, I want certain apps to be available only during a certain window of time. For example, they can only use Facebook between 4pm and 6pm. Is that possible?

Not directly no.
But you can set Downtime, so that Facebook for instance is not available at any other time but ones you want.
Downtime works by limiting which apps are available during downtime. Limit all the Apps you don't want active and set Downtime for all hours except the 2 you want Facebook to be available on.
There is no granular control for Apps here unfortunately, so its just all not specifically allowed apps will be restricted at all times except when downtime is not active.

Thank you for the reply. I don't think that's going to work for me because I want other apps available during other windows of time. For example, their school apps should be available from 8am to 2pm, but I can't set multiple downtimes to make all the different windows of time I want.
The school Apps don't really need to be disabled at any time, so they can simply be available at all times, even during down time. No reason to prevent them from doing school work during down time if they really want to.
You would just need to add them to the Always allowed list, so the school apps are always available.
Can I set specific apps to be accessible only during a certain window of time?
