  ABSTRACT: The popularization of the “Preschool Education Law” is an important part of the current government’s educational governance. This study, using Python technology, selected the 7529 comments from the five most popular official media accounts on Sina Weibo since the promulgation of the “Preschool Education Law” in 2024 as the research object, and analyzed them from three aspects: subject composition, emotional tendency, and focal issues. The results show that the online public has a certain level of attention to the “Preschool Education Law”, but the spatial differentiation and gender differences presented there in reflect the possible existence of an “information cocoon” in the policy dissemination process. The online public’s overall emotional response to the promulgation of the “Preschool Education Law” is positive, but the presence of a certain proportion of neutral and negative emotions should be noted to be vigilant against potential risks in the implementation of the policy. The online public’s discussions on the “Preschool Education Law” focus on eight themes, which are the key issues that should be addressed in the process of promoting and popularizing the “Preschool Education Law”. Therefore, in the process of promoting the popularization of the “Preschool Education Law”, the government should pay attention to the differences among online public opinion groups, effectively carry out the popularization work of the “Preschool Education Law”; pay attention to the emotions of online public opinion, and guide them rationally, emotionally, and legally; and dynamically understand the focal issues to respond to the public’s demands for preschool education.
