What people are saying…
I’ve gone to one sensory art class and several events hosted by Love Bug & Me and Mr. Gabe and let me just say, they are FANTASTIC. I take my daughter to different kids events throughout the Westside / South Bay and LB&M events are by FAR the best in terms of interaction, energy level, engagement, and overall program. Mr. Gabe’s energy is so positive and upbeat, and he’s so kind. The kids love him. The singing is great and the play is fun. It’s always a good time with LB&M and Mr. Gabe! Thank you!!

Meet Miss Bailey
Bailey is a filmmaker, artist, and musician hailing from sunny San Diego! She is finishing up a Film Production degree at Santa Monica College, and has worked extensively in art departments, creating props, decorating sets, and production designing on both shorts and feature films. Her love of music began at a young age, learning the drums at just 10 years old and singing her way through choir, musical theater, and even an a cappella group! As the eldest of four, Bailey grew up caring for her younger siblings and neighborhood kids, so working with children comes naturally to her. She is so excited to share her love of art and music with little lovebugs everywhere! When she’s not working she can be found writing poems, reading on the beach, or going dancing with her friends.

What people are saying…
We love our Mondays with Mr. Micah and the welcoming families. We joined at 11 months and what a joy to see how much my girl has learned. She’s also really benefitted from being around little ones. Your special events are also great. We’ve tried out the sensory art classes, too, and loved them!

Meet Miss Celia
Celia studied Early Childhood Development in San Francisco and spent many years teaching preschool before transitioning into nannying. In 2024, she had the opportunity to travel abroad with a family while caring for their two-year-old, gaining new inspiration from different cultures and ways children explore the world.
When she’s not getting messy with paint and sensory bins, Celia enjoys creating art herself. Most recently finding calmness in weaving with a loom or the unexpected chaotic experiments that come with creating images in Midjourney. When not creating you’ll find her reading, exploring new places outside and practicing yoga and Pilates.

“Our son had such an incredible time in his music and sensory art class this past spring season that we decided to have his music instructor (Mr Andy) and lovebug come to his 2nd birthday party. it was a blast! everyone said it was the highlight of the party. Even the adults had a great time during the performance. Mr Andy is incredible. 10/10. not only was he amazing at the party but every class was on point. and my son keeps asking to go to art and music class again so definitely going to sign him up for the next season! And several parents at the party said they will be signing their kids up too!”

We just finished our second session of LoveBug music and we have absolutely loved every class! Miss Toby is welcoming, friendly, and wonderful with the little ones! They also have a great voice and play the ukulele very well! We always look forward to class each week. The songs are fun and engaging and we love the variety of instruments we get to play with too. Miss Toby has gone above and beyond to remember my son’s allergies and has been very thoughtful and considerate with making sure he was safe during class. Miss Toby is the absolute best!!
