    The simplest way would be to find the bell inside the house & open one of the wires, any wire. If the kids don't stop doing this then you can put in a toggle switch, next to the bell. Put one wire (from the bell) to the toggle switch & then another wire from the switch back to the bell. Flip the switch off at night.

    It's low voltage so there's no chance of electrocution. If you feel better you can put a wire nut on the wire.

    Install a switch that disconnects the outside button. How exactly to do that depends on exactly what your system is.

    To do that, you need to give the actual make/model, not a vague description.
