A simile.
The sentence uses a simile to compare the person's voice to something familiar (ice-cream) to create a vivid image for the reader. It also employs personification by attributing human-like qualities (kindergarten teacher) to the voice, enhancing the description.
'the snow was like a powder' is a simile. So, to answer your question, yes it is. just remember that, a simile is a comparison using 'like' or 'as'. so therefore it is a simile. in addition to that, a metaphor is a comparison without using 'like' or 'as', it says something 'is' something. e.g. The teacher was a King stepping on his minions. i know this is a vary long and explaining answer but thought it was useful for you to know. Okay, hope this helped. :)
