There's one possible, but unlikely, exception. If your income is higher than your daughter's, you may claim your grandchild as a dependent. If you do, you may also claim Head of Household.

It is optional  (your daughter's option, not yours) whether you claim the grandchild or she does. So, it may be worthwhile to prepare returns both ways to see which way the family comes out best.
