My first MTB was a Peugoet Orient Express back in the 80s. It did not have chain stay brakes. Rear brake was cantilever, just like the one pictured in the link below.

I do not have any input to the OP other than that. Sorry. It does sound like a fun project to turn a pile of parts into a bike for your daughter.
