Face ID
I’m setting up a child s new iPad under my Apple ID. I will set a new child Apple ID as I’m doing the first setup. Will it let my child set Face ID later?

Setting up the child’s device under your AppleID is strongly NOT recommended.
While admittedly an expedient; setting up the child “later” becomes exponentially more difficult as time advances.
Recommend you make a relatively minor investment in setup time now; you’ll thank yourself later.

If the iPad is meant for the child’s use, would recommend that you (presumably the family organizer) FIRST create the child’s AppleID as described here:
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support
THEN
setup the iPad w/ the child’s AppleID
THEN
Apply Parental Controls
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

You can do it as a later step. How to set up and use Face ID is described in this support article --> Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
