A layout shape I would suggest you look at is the "water wings" shaped layout. A good example of this is the Chippiwa Central layout that was designed but not built at MR. It was also in one of the small magazine inserts that have come out in the last 3 years, so I'm willing to bet it is kicking around somewhere in your home. We all start out in the hobby from "where we are." And your preferences are a good place to start. Don't be surprised that over time your tastes change, in what direction I have no idea. Right now, this layout is really for you since a four year old is still young to be "right in there beside you." Also from experience, don't be surprised to hear "is the layout done yet?" Start your layout and get something up and she will be more into the hobby. If she has to wait four years while you decide on this and that, make this and that, figure out how this and that works, she'll lose interest. The track plan for the above suggested layout isn't that bad and affordable so you can get working on it right away...lol. "IS THE LAYOUT DONE YET DAD"
