New Mom School Edmond is more than just a class—it’s a supportive space for new mothers navigating the unpredictable journey of early motherhood. Locally owned by Jaclyn Buckingham, a new mom herself, New Mom School Edmond was created from a place of deep understanding and empathy. Jaclyn knows firsthand the overwhelming mix of emotions, from the joy of holding your baby for the first time to the uncertainty of sleepless nights and endless questions. Her mission is to ensure that no mother feels alone in this journey.
The school offers a structured yet nurturing environment where mothers and their babies come together weekly for eight weeks. Each class is carefully designed to address different aspects of the postpartum experience, from sleep and feeding to mental health and personal identity. The curriculum is led by a diverse group of experts, including a sleep consultant, pelvic floor physical therapists, an international board certified lactation consultant, a certified parenting coach, an infant massage therapist, a pediatric dietitian, a pediatric physical therapist, car seat safety technician, and mental health professionals, all of whom provide evidence-based guidance tailored to new moms’ needs.
What sets New Mom School Edmond apart is its community-driven approach. Beyond the expert-led discussions, the program fosters deep, meaningful connections between moms who are all walking a similar path. The power of shared experience is undeniable—having a support system that truly understands the highs and lows of motherhood can be life-changing.
The classes are divided into four main groups: one for moms with newborns (0-3 months), another for infants (3-6 months), and a third for rising toddlers (6-12 months). In addition to these core classes, New Mom School Edmond also offers a specialized course for second-time moms with newborns (0-3 months), providing support tailored to their unique experiences. These classes are designed to address the unique challenges and experiences that come with parenting at different stages. Whether it’s managing the transition to toddlerhood or navigating the dynamics of being a second-time mom, these offerings ensure every mother finds the support she needs at the right stage of her journey.
In addition to the structured classes, the program also includes baby-friendly activities such as music and movement sessions, sensory play, and guided bonding exercises to help strengthen the mother-baby connection.
Edmond New Moms School also goes beyond education by providing a safe space for open conversation. Whether it’s discussing the mental load of motherhood, the challenges of returning to work, or simply acknowledging the struggles that come with adjusting to a new identity, Jaclyn has created a place where mothers feel heard and supported.
In a world where postpartum care often feels overlooked, Jaclyn is on a mission to change that narrative. She believes that every mother deserves access to the knowledge, support, and community that will empower her to thrive—not just survive—the early months of motherhood. Her hope is that through the school, moms will not only gain confidence in their new roles but also find friendships that last well beyond the newborn stage.
