Maybe the definition of fielder's choice has changed over the years. To me, your daughter simply grounded into a force play. I remember (1950s) when scorers used to differentiate between grounding into a force play and hitting into a fielder's choice (e.g., Abel on 3B, Baker grounds to F5, who throws home to get Abel instead of playing on Baker).

Don't have my book handy, but as I remember, the definition was hard to understand.

Of course, either way, it's 0 for 1.
