Can I track my kids switch?

No, you can't track your kid's Switch with built-in GPS like a phone, but you can use the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app to monitor play time and content, and for physical location, you'd need a third-party Bluetooth tracker (like Tile) attached to the console or case for finding it at home. If lost or stolen, report the serial number to Nintendo Support and police; they can flag the device if it tries to go online, but can't track its live location.

Can you track the location of a Nintendo Switch?

You cannot directly track a Nintendo Switch like a phone because it lacks built-in GPS, but you can use connected Joy-Cons to make it emit a faint sound if nearby, check your Nintendo Account for recent IP activity for a general area, and contact Nintendo Support with the serial number to flag it if stolen. For physical searching, try using Bluetooth trackers like AirTags for future prevention or use your phone's flashlight for dark spots, but official tracking for lost/stolen devices relies on law enforcement and the serial number.
