Agnosticism implies there has been some consideration of deities and religion, which is not possible if a child has no knowledge of any gods or religions. Ignosticism implies the definition of a particular deity is required before making any further decisions, which is consistent with a child not knowing anything about deities and religions. I think you're jumping the gun by suggesting such a child would be agnostic.
