I'd like to advise against a scope on an EQ mount.
A Dobsonian mounted scope would be perfect. It's a very simple design, so simple that your 6yr old will be using it in no time.
You would probably be quite happy with a 6" $349 or an 8" $399 size mirror.

advice wont come any better than that
8" seems to be the sweet spot for value as it where, and an 8" dob with give you a lifetime of spectacular views, and will grow with you.
