Well, first of all sign language is VERY good for children, and for your family it is also necessary to learn it.
You say in the city-do you mean New York City? If that is the case, there should be no trouble finding a program. First, though, just check out your local book store and/or library. There are MANY books and videos available that would be beneficial to your entire family. Look for American Sign Language (some baby sign programs use signs that are not necessarily ASL-I was sure to teach mine ASL).
Next, check any places that hold infant and toddler based programs. For instance, I know that where I live (in a much smaller setting than NYC) several of the Mommy & Me gymnastics or Kindermusic host sites also have classes/lessons for Baby Signing. Your pediatrician's office might be another good starting point.
Call ENT or audiologists office and inquire about any programs they can point you toward.
See if there is a school for the Deaf and/or Blind. They may offer community programs or be able to point you toward some.
If there are any Community Education programs (where I live, hosted by the Parks & Recreation and/or Continuing Education through the public school district) that would be another place to look.
I hope that helps!
