I would start with her school to see what they offer in terms of instruments. Harps will be expensive, so leasing one or buying a used one would probably be more doable.
House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park offers classes for less common instruments, not always for kids though. They list a harp teacher in Germantown: https://hmtrad.com/pages/teacher-abigail-palmer
I would contact her to find out what resources there are.
She'll probably start with a Lever harp. They are a few thousand dollars, or yes, you can rent one. Check out the Virginia Harp Center. https://www.vaharpcenter.com/ I bought ours through them. I was looking for a 2nd hand one, ended up with a new one.

We leased a harp from HOMT and they were very helpful in finding a teacher.

Harps which are traditional and full size are extremely expensive and heavy, so difficult to cart around.
But they do sound absolutely wonderful if played correctly.

My DD plays the harp. She is able to take lessons at her school they have 2 harps on campus so she does not have to bring hers to school for her lessons. It is a beautiful instrument.

There are classes at Strathmore for kids. I looked into it a few years ago, so I don't recall the details beyond that the classes are provided by the Levine School of Music.
