I think there are very good Aria acoustic guitars for 200 bucks. Those are quite common here in European shops, but there should be some in America too.

If she's just starting then you should get her a 3/4 or 1/2 sized guitar to help her get comfortable. Make sure its nylon strings for the first guitar, not steel. I used to have one when I started to learn and mum says it was only $60. But now I am able to play a full sized, steel string, electric acoustic guitar. I don't pay any attention to the brands. Most Music shops will help you with the first buy.

I got my first guitar at around her age and it was an Ibanez AE (acoustic-electric) guitar. It's worked well for me. They tend to be around $300.

Yamaha makes a relatively sturdy and very nice sounding guitar that you can probably get in a kit with a strap and tuner at Sam Ash or music123.com. It is a full-size guitar (but "full size" is relative, as it's smaller than most professional guitars), but I simply have not seen a child-size guitar that's made well. Let her try one at the store to make sure.
