Christine and Rob raised their three children in Montecito and have been active members of El Montecito Presbyterian Church for many years. Their children, attended El Montecito Early School, MUS, SBJH and SBHS. In 2015, the family moved to Fresno, and that is when Christine re-entered the preschool world as a Preschool Director for The Well Community Church. After five years of living in Fresno the Hale family was excited to move back to Santa Barbara.

Christine is so happy to be back where her teaching career started, and continue the strong legacy that the Early School has in our community.
