Answer
I am happy to answer your question but am curious why this wasnt asked of the practitioner who examined and prescribed glasses for your 4 year old daughter.
This prescription represents moderate levels of hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. Some kids indeed do "grow" out of it; others do not. That's why it's imperative to get the followup care to see which way she progresses. I f her visual acuity is below normal , then she needs to have her vision corrected so as to not experience visual stress, blur, distortion, headaches, or possible amblyopia. Hope this helps
