Apple Music - Can I pick and choose playlists to display on other devices?

I run a summer camp. I have several old iPod shuffles that have scrubbed (for lyrics, etc) playlists that our staff can play for the kids during the day. With Apple Music's newer cloud based system, I can no longer select only the playlists I want on each device because all songs are in the cloud now and so won't download to the device. IF there is indeed no way around this and I need to use an iPod touch, for example (cloud friendly) now for these purposes, is there a way to have the iPod touch display ONLY certain playlists? I don't want the staff or campers having access to my entire music library. Thanks for your help everyone -

For iTunes or Apple Music to sync content to a device that media has to be stored locally on the computer, and must not come from an Apple Music subscription. iOS devices using iCloud Music Library will see the whole cloud library, and with Apple Music have access to almost anything else in the iTunes store. Download your scrubbed content to a computer and sync songs to the devices. Each can have its own selection of media.
