Shake, Rattle & Roll was written and designed by Shauna Hewitt, a teacher and a stay at home Mom. The concept was a simple one – get parents and toddlers moving together and give them a place to do it! After canvassing her local community, Shauna found that there were several young children in need of a physical activity program. Parents wanted and felt they needed a structured program so Shake, Rattle & Roll – a gym program for toddlers and their parents – was born.
Shauna taught Elementary school for six years before taking time off to raise her young son so this wasn’t a stretch for her. She used many games and ideas from her teaching years and the rest just took on a life of its own.
Shauna is supported by Macdonald Healthy Child, White Plain Recreation District, Healthy Child Coalition – Central Steering Committee, Manitoba In Motion and Healthy Child Manitoba.
