About Sprouts

A warm, child-centered international kindergarten in Bangkok

OUR STORY

Jonas Koblin founded Sprouts in 2018 for his own three children. Born and educated in Munich, he built Sprouts International Kindergarten to bring the German educational model to Bangkok. He is also the creator of Sprouts Schools—a popular YouTube project that brings animated video lessons into classrooms worldwide—and the co-founder of the Mali Pregnancy & Parenting app. In 2024, he was invited to publish the Unschoolers’ Educational Dictionary, a book on alternative education, and won the Tromsø Educational Film Fest Award for his video on the Attachments Theory. He leads with the belief that the first five years lay the foundation for a lifetime, and that kindergarten should inspire children to explore their curiosity, learn by doing, and develop trust in their own abilities—so they begin primary school with curiosity and confidence.

OUR FACILITIES

Our center is intentionally small—filled with warmth, laughter, and meaningful learning experiences. Children explore two floors of bright, airy classrooms designed with natural wooden elements and calming colors.

OUR FOOD

With over 40 rotating recipes and allergy-sensitive options, we ensure every child receives nurturing meals. Children can choose between cow’s milk and almond milk, and once a week they create their own pizzas—an activity they absolutely love.
