A thought:

I believe that learning a language should be a fun experience for little ones. It is never too early to learn French; actually, the earlier the better, they won't even realize they are learning, and their accent will be so much better--they might even have no accent!
I do not expect kids to sit during the entire lesson. They want to dance, sing, and play, so there has to be a lot of interaction. This does not mean they don't learn--on the contrary, vocabulary can be introduced naturally through total immersion, a must with kids.
