Dr. Leah Goldberg, PhD

Child Development Psychologist

Leah is a child development psychologist with many years of experience studying how young children learn through play. After earning her doctorate in developmental psychology and spending years in clinical and research practice at a pediatric developmental center, she joined Kiddopicks to evaluate toys, books, and screen-time products through the lens of cognitive and social-emotional development. Her goal is to help families choose products that genuinely support a child's growth, not just keep them occupied.
