the question is are you talking about parental controls or just acces control of firewall rules
the actual parental control is set by opendns ands sort of works but is easily bypassed if the kids know how and your not actually watching them
if however you just want to block internet access by time based schedule its already available
go to the gui and click on the advanced tab
select security and schedule
first ensure the Time zone is set correctly for your region etc
then
set the time you want the internet blocked
next go to security / access control
turn on access control
select which devices you want blocked
click the block button and then click apply
this should block the devices at the required time from accessing the internet
