The woman, Deniel Rechier, of Palo Seco, is charged with the murder of McKenzie Hope Rechier, whose body was found on a mattress at her home.
Police said they received instructions from acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Joan Honore-Paul, on Thursday to charge the mother.
On August 20, police found the child's body on a mattress at her home and theorise she may have been killed a day earlier.
An autopsy later found that McKenzie had been manually strangled.
A police report earlier this week indicated that the mother had travelled to a mosque in Claxton Bay where she asked to meet the Imam.
The police said the unemployed mother, who suffered from a mental disorder, told the religious leader that her daughter was unresponsive and she needed him to accompany her to their home.
He went to the woman's home and discovered McKenzie lying on a mattress on the floor of the wooden shack she shared with her mother.
She was wearing underwear and a top. Her face was swollen and there was a bruise on the left side of her neck.
