re: What is the best software for a kids phone to know their location.

She has the iPhone, so FindMyiPhone is the best solution. Set up an iCloud account for her in your name and sign into it on her iPhone. Go to Settings, iCloud, and enable FindMyiPhone. You can track the phone's location, set a passcode remotely, wipe all data, and send alert sounds and messages. I don't believe you can take a photo though.

You don't need an iPhone to track another iPhone. Now, I'm not sure how annoying Apple has made it to access iCloud.com on an Android device specifically, but I am sure there's an app out there that will work

Word of advice - If you don't want them knowing that you are tracking them, make sure the email address tied to the account is not one they monitor.

FindMyIphone now sends an email every time it is used to find the phone.
