As was already stated there is no minimum age for hunter safety. You don't even have to know how to read to pass. I helped the teacher when my little brothers and wife took the class. I ended up reading the test to one third of the class who couldn't read. You will teach her more then the class will and she only needs it to buy a licence.
Guns get heavy for kids very, very fast. You could see it in the kids doing the shooting test for hunter safety. First shot right on. By the tenth shot they were all over the target. My boy is nine and carries a bb gun when we go rabbit hunting. Gives him a chance to learn gun control without the weight and having to worry about hurting someone. With that he's been hunting down and finishing off wounded rabbits for a couple of years now. We just trade guns for a couple of minutes.
