Following are the main themes in the poem Punishment in Kindergarten.

Acceptance– The poet here is reminiscing about her childhood. But, looking at her present state, she is very much inclined to accept herself for who she is alongside the nostalgia of her peculiar childhood.
Childhood– The poem indirectly deals with the effect of one’s childhood on one’s life for always. Her memory of that childhood is very unique in terms of difference from other children.
