There are a lot of fluoride-free toothpastes on the market now. For little kids, even mainstream companies and drugstores carry these little combo kits of a rubber thimble thing you wear on your finger (to brush with) and a little tube of all-natural fluoride-free paste. Tom's and other brands carry fluoride-free options even targeted at older kids.
