For Android:

You cannot make any app your device admin or stop it from getting uninstalled, But the app should have the feature or permission to be a device admin in order to achieve what you need.

As you can see in the list of apps in settings>security>device administrator.

Just check on the forums, how to get the admin permission/privileges for your reactive native apps.

I think that you cannot prevent an app from being uninstalled.

Alternative idea/suggestion: Check if you could send a mail/notification to the parent when the app is uninstalled. Since a parental control app will always be running you could implement a mechanism where it sends the parent a notification whenever the app is turned off/removed.
