Yeah, I doubt anyone runs it, because if you follow the instructions and click on the link to the server code, it's just missing. And the empty repository has been sitting there since May... There isn't any Android app in the Appstore either, so you wouldn't be able to install anything. Seems all "Circulus" is, is a shiny website with (made-up?) advertisement text.
(And by the way, if you decide to self-host some of the standard open-source messengers... You can always just disable Federation and disallow sign-up. That way XMPP or Matrix won't be able to connect to anyone else, except the people you invited to your server. And there's this messenger overview, it doesn't talk about kids-features, but maybe it's useful nonetheless: https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html )
