Are these dangerous? I found this spider in my daughter’s bedroom

Like most spiders they have venom but are not considered to be of medical significance to people and are unlikely to bite except in self defense (everyone’s immune system is different though). If you’re finding more of them in the bedroom they’re probably wandering in by mistake somewhere (this isn’t a species that wants to be indoors), and can reduce the number that get in by sealing cracks around floors, doors, windows, foundation, etc.
