The Renaissance Child's Place is a Montessori school located in Fairfax that has a French immersion program for 3 - 6 years old.  They have a Lego summer camp this summer for ages 4-10.   My understanding is that all their programs (including this Lego camp) include a French immersion program geared for each child.  Check their website for more details.  You can also email them at montessorieducate@yahoo.com.
