At 6 years just make sure she gets a healthy balanced diet. And plenty of exercise. Sports with stretching and jumping will help.

It is not in our control to increase the height which is influenced by genetics. Some stretching exercises like swimming, hanging from wall bar etc can help add up few inches if started in the childhood
