My six year old has been taking lessons with Drew Althoff since the spring, and he's been great!! He teaches both adults and children, but I've found him to be really wonderful with my six year old – he has two small children of his own, and is really patient. I especially like that he has asked my child for their favorite songs, and keeps them engaged throughout the lesson. He's pretty relaxed, which for my child is perfect – it's the perfect balance of fun/enjoying playing and learning 'real' guitar concepts and foundation. https://www.althoffguitar.com/
My kids really love Kat White at Magnolia Music School! She has a long waitlist for private lessons but she also does group lessons that do have space. https://magnoliamusicschool.com/group-classes She really understands what kids like and is so supportive and fun, while also teaching concrete skills. FWIW my kids started with ukulele at 6 and then moved on to guitar around 8/9. Ukulele lets them be successful sooner which is very helpful at that age.

My kiddo very much enjoys lessons with Ethan at Subway Guitars. I think he started around 7.
