In this newly created role, Dr. Goldstein will advise on the development of new and current health-focused business systems and projects. The move represents the company’s further commitment to the health and safety of its enrolled children and their families, employees and franchise owners and their staff.

“The wellbeing of the people who comprise our Kiddie Academy community has always been top of mind, but that focus has grown exponentially due to the global impact of COVID-19. Dr. Goldstein is an integral addition that brings expert, medical insights to our team and helps ensure that our health standards continue to reflect best practices,” said Greg Helwig, CEO at Kiddie Academy.

An experienced health practitioner specializing in pediatrics and a health advisor for several schools and hospitals, Goldstein will provide guidance to Kiddie Academy’s Education and Operations team on best practices for pediatric health, nutrition and fitness.

Goldstein earned his medical degree at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and did his residency in pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he is currently on faculty in the department of pediatrics.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a lot of worry in our country, and Dr. Goldstein’s expertise in pediatric health will inform our efforts to alleviate parents’ concerns about sending their children back into the classroom, as well as easing back into social settings overall,” continues Helwig. “He’ll be a critical force in building out new operating procedures and safety protocols, ultimately providing greater peace of mind for all our staff and families.”

“I’m honored to lend my knowledge and expertise to the Kiddie Academy team at this pivotal time,” says Dr. Goldstein. “This is the perfect opportunity to leverage my personal experiences and learnings to benefit the Kiddie Academy network and beyond.”
