Not really. And this isn't something "Disney canon" either, as this was established well before Disney, when Lucas still had creative control:
The Jedi, in their archives, keep a list of force-sensitive children. The extra-powerful ones, ones that can already manipulate the force at an infant stage, are kept on a well guarded holochron in the deepest part of their archives.
Jedi observe these infants. They visit the family's of these infants. The parents are told there will be a day that they'll come for their kids. Then, when they're old enough (but not too old) the kids get taken away from their parents and start training at the nearest temple (or the main one).
I haven't heard of Jedi forcibly taking children away, but Jedi can be very... convincing, so "on paper" these kids are there by choice. These stories were explored in The Clone Wars. One of the earlier seasons. Though it didn't go into specifics.
