(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Since launching in 2021, JPE has welcomed over 1,000 participants, with 95% saying they would return. The program has earned multiple government awards. Founded by CEO Masaya Yamamoto after staying with his daughter at a rural preschool in Hokkaido, JPE promotes cross-cultural learning and nature-connected childhoods.

To reach more families worldwide, JPE is launching an official promotion with PEPPA PIG, Hasbro's beloved preschool brand. Families who register for the experience during the campaign (from 1st August, 2025 to 30th June, 2026) will receive a PEPPA PIG Welcome Digital Guide, which includes a variety of activity sheets for kids.

Embracing Peppa Pig's ethos of inspiring kids' confidence, the campaign invites families to jump in together and savor the precious early childhood years through real-life adventures in Japanese preschools.
