They built The Globe in 1600, and took over Blackfriars as their indoor winter home in 1608.

Sure, children are welcome at most performances at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. They often have school tours there. You are aware that the name "Shakespeare's Globe theatre" can only refer to the theatre built in 1997 and can never refer to the one built in 1599, aren't you?
The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 but it was not built by "Shakespeare and his men". It was built by a man called Peter Street who was hired by a group led by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage. Shakespeare had money in it, but was not a main player in any way.l

It's a Theatre someone has decided to name after Shakespeare. The most famous of these, although neither is strictly speaking called "the Shakespeare Theatre", are Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, built in 1995 in Southwark, London, and the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, originally built in 1932 and substantially renovated since, in Stratford.
The King's Men
Not the globe theatre; it was built long after Shakespeare was an established playwright and actor. We cannot be sure what theatre he first appeared in because we don't even know what company he was with. It could have been at an early theatre such as The Theatre, or even in an innyard adapted as a theatre, such as the Bell Savage.

Some of the members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare among them, went together to invest in the Globe, a public playhouse, which the company then occupied. After they became the King's Men, Shakespeare and others in the company also invested in a private playhouse called Blackfriars.

If by "Shakespeare's Theatre" you mean the Globe Theatre (which was only partly owned by Shakespeare, and which was not built by him), the lumber was salvaged from the earlier playhouse The Theatre. This was an ok name for it, since these buildings were called "playhouses" at the time, not "theatres".
The Globe.
1. There is not and never has been a theatre called the Elizabeth Theatre. (There are Queen Elizabeth Theatres in Toronto and Vancouver, but no Elizabeth Theatre), so obviously nobody built a theatre by that name. 2. William Shakespeare did not build theatres. He was not a builder. He was not a contractor. Nor did he hire them. Shakespeare invested in theatres, he did not build them.
It is called that because it is a reproduction of the First Globe Theatre which stood near to where Shakespeare's Globe is located from 1599 to 1613, when it burned down. It is called "Shakespeare's" Globe Theatre because at the time that it was built, in 1997, William Shakespeare was far and away the most famous person to have been associated with the First Globe. The name "Shakespeare's Globe" ONLY refers to the theatre built in 1997. The one built in 1599 and the one built in 1614 were both called simply The Globe. At the time they were built, William Shakespeare was not the most famous person associated with them, nor was he the principal owner of them.
Shakespeare did not name the acting group he belonged to. Elizabethan theatre groups did not name themselves; they were required by law to have a noble or royal patron and the theatre group took its name from that person. If the patron changed his title, the name of the company changed; if the patron was replaced by someone else (as happened with the company Shakespeare belonged to) then the name of the company changed. Even if the theatre company has some say in what they were called, and they didn't, Shakespeare was not the leader of the company. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage were the leaders. The patrons of the company were Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and King James I.
