      no captive portal or proxy. Only thing I’m running is the DNS resolver w/ SquidGuard Proxy filter.

      That means you're running a squid proxy.

      ping 8.8.8.8 does it work?
      ping smtp.gmail.com does it work?

          Do you have a port forward to localhost for DNS on that interface?

          The Allow all rule should pass anything anyway.

          Do you actually see leases in Status > DHCP leases for that subnet when devices are connected to it?

                Side thinking:

                Before I had two NICS that I had bridged for LAN. Both NICS feed two separate switches, one was my regular gig switch managed & the other was my PoE gig management switch. When my PoE switch died, I removed the bridge setup and reconfigured the second NIC to be dedicated to the Unifi AP. After that I have it setup with the vlan.

                Should I bridge both the LAN & WIFI NIC so they are on the same network and then attached the kids VLAN that way? I take it that should work since it technically worked before. I'm just not sure why it's not working now, in the current configuration.

                Running out of ideas so I'm just thinking out loud.

                  You should never bridge anything unless its the LAST freaking way to get something to work.. If you need switch ports - use a switch..

                    I just noticed in your attached screenshot of port forwarding... The 1st rule of DNS for kids network :

                    The dest Address should be !KIDSWIFI_VLAN12 address .
                    "!" is missing.
                    Can you try with that.

                      @johnpoz I agree, which is why I changed the setup.

                        @ashima that rule was missing the invert match option. I ticket it and still nothing is working on my end.

                        I'm wondering at this point if I should remove the vlan and try re-adding it.

                          It was so simple I feel stupid. I knew it was something stupid simple but missed, I missed it because it shouldn't have been selected anyway.
