Haha, reading this, I found the perspective adorable! You conveyed the innocence of the character well. However, there are a few places where the meaning of what you were trying to say wasn't quite clear. Like:
“Each syllable pronounced and with care and exactness. A sweet, flowery smile sprang onto the kindergarten teachers face. “That is exactly how long our school year will be! This will be so exciting, children!”
Shouldn't it be, "SHE pronounced each syllable WITH care and exactness"? Also, you might want to add punctuation to when you write "kindergarten teachers." It should be "teacher's." And, as Change has already pointed out, you should cut out the "and" before "with care and exactness."
Then there's:
"A sharp gasp, indicating that she has probably taken the news quite hard. There’s hyperventilation and finally the sobs."
It should either be: "She gave a sharp gasp, indicating..." or "A sharp gasp indicates..."
Finally:
"“WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” is screamed."
Shouldn't it be, " "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" she screams."?
The ending made me laugh. Protective suits? I didn't know Kindergarten could be sci-fiction-y. I was reading this right now, and just went all shrilly: "this is so cute!" My friend thought I'd finally cracked. Hehe.
I don't get your title though. How is it a Prose poem? I mean... aren't poems a little different? With line breaks and such?
But I love this story anyway!
Keep writing!
