Normally visitors can't study without a permit and paying fees.

However since one or both of the child's parents are PRs/citizens - you should be able to find a school that is willing to take her as if she was already a PR. You should go and speak with the school you wish to have her attend (don't talk to the school board - talk to the school itself). Explain the situation and that she should have PR status soon.
