Gorilla glass will still crack when dropped if it hits at the "wrong" angle (judging by my Nokia 808). I also dropped my old Advent Vega and smashed the plastic screen; it was only held together by the screen protector (this is important).
I'd suggest going for a tablet based on spec and how it feels for you (and her). Regardless of what screen type you get, if droppage is a consideration, buy a screen protector - it'll give an element of protection, and if it is dropped and the screen cracks, the stick protector will stop bits from flying all over the place.
There are plenty of rubberised cases available for tablets that'll give extra protection (got a fantastic one for my young sons Hudl).
