Consider an Australian Shepherd. They're very nice looking dogs, very intelligent, and absolutely great with kids. In fact, they're quite protective of them. Ours seemed to be able to tell the difference between adults, kids, and babies, and treated them accordingly. They also don't tend to bark too much.
We had a couple, and they would play tag with my little brothers, and it didn't take too much work to teach them to catch frisbees.
