AYLOR what a non Jewish person can do for children on yom Kippur. It probably makes a difference that it falls on shabbos this year in term of heating up food. You have to be very careful about giving directions on shabbos/Y"T. It may be better to do so in advance.
How old are your kids? If they are too young to understand about Y"K then why shouldn't they go play in the park (weather permitting)?

It doesn't make a difference if YK falls on Shabbos or not. It is always treated as "Shabbos" rather than Yom Tov.......... I.E. no carrying, warming up food for children, etc. Many people put up a cholent erev yom kippur to serve their kids in the morning.

What's wrong ng with giving your kids sandwiches, or cereal and milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, foods that don't need to be hot.

Good point!
I've never actually been home with children for Y"K. I'm not a good faster, so we go to my parents or in laws so I can have some help.
All I remember about eating on Y"K when I was growing up is that my mother would buy us a special pastry for breakfast because she said Y"K is a Yom Tov for those who aren't fasting. And we would get deli sandwiches for lunch, which was also a special treat in our home. No heating necessary.

Having a treat for YK is interesting. This will be the first year that I can't fast (I have a heter). I was thinking of having a hard boiled egg, an apple, and some almond butter. Nothing fancy, because DH says that I shouldn't make a festive meal. I'll have to ask him about this!
