What do you think of this programming course curriculum for children?

Personally, I don't know anything about programming. I think it's something important to learn, and I'm also interested in having my daughter take it. I saw a course that offers classes for children ages 6 to 17. For my daughter's age, these are the topics they offer:
Your child will learn:
About the basic concepts and practices involved in programming, from creating algorithms to fixing bugs
How to create cartoons and games in the block-based programming language Scratch, making their stories more sophisticated as their knowledge grows
To apply the basic principles of graphic design and vector graphics in practice
To take a creative approach to problem-solving, experiment, and not worry about making mistakes
To work in a team: assigning tasks, finding compromises, and effectively expressing their ideas
To not be afraid of public speaking and confidently present their projects in front of a live audience

hard to say how interesting it will be for your daughter. saying in other words, dont know what is their method to teach kids. Those modules looks ok to me.
Scratch is very good, I did some projects with my kids and it was quite fun :-) and I find out they are different and you need to take different approach to teach them.
raspberrypi learn page is very good starting point too. You can find a lot of scratch projects. They have also 3 chapter :
  1. Introduction to Scratch
  2. More Scratch
  3. Further Scratch
Check it out with your daughter :-)

It's good to check the evaluation of those who are already there and if they recommend it, if it has a good learning method.

I didn’t review this, but I plan to teach it to my children, or at least introduce it.

Seems pretty standard. Scratch is a common programming language that kids start with because it's very visual. It sounds like they might learn some Turtle too which is kinda like coding a pencil-robot to draw pictures.
I'm a bit wary of the team aspect. Programming can be a team effort, but I don't know if it's best to start learning how to code in teams.
