I wouldn't purposely, no. Jackson is fine with kids. He's not like a 'kids dog' as in he is not one to be picked up or cuddle etc. But he enjoys kids because they often drop food LOL... also, they LOVE doing tricks with him. I'll give them some treats and show them how I do his tricks and the kids and he just love it.
He grew up with my young siblings. Jackson is now 8 and my little sister just turned 9 and my brother just turned 13. So he's been around kids his whole life. I always tried to turn them into a positive experience. He does bark if kids start running or being too wild.
But I have a lot of young cousins, siblings, etc, so I'd prefer a kid-friendly dog. IF I adopted a dog that happened to not like kids, I'd just deal with it though. But it makes my life easier knowing I can trust him if we are in public and a kid wants to say hi or whatever.
You may try socializing with your grandkids and the pup may end up being okay once a positive association is created.
