I agree with everything Sluggers said about pitching development. As far as the timing of things though that can vary greatly.
Having to play Varsity as a freshmen all depends on the schools too. Our high school makes freshmen play with freshmen.
Don't forget that Lisa Ferrnendez started pitching at 15. Lauren Bay started pitching at 14.
You've got plenty of time ahead of you. Go with the rise ball next but don't do so until she can hit the corners inside/outside and high/low with her fastball.
Also don't forget that 4th graders favorite activity is playing Mario Kart with her friends. She may not say that in front her parents, afterall, she's only a 4th grader.
