If my 9 year old daughter is unable to wake up during the month of Ramadan to my frequent calls at Sehri, is it acceptable if I give Kaffara for her fasts instead?

Waking up for eating or drinking in Sehri (Sohoor) is not a condition in fasting. Fasting is must on Baaligh Muslim whether they wake up or don't wake up for Sehri.
Baaligh girl ( who completed full nine lunar years) must fast the month of Ramadan. Not fasting is a major sin which requires then Qadha of that day, and Kaffara of fasting two months or feeding of sixty poor believers, for every day of not fasting.
Giving Kaffara does not make it permissible.
