Police later said the teacher admitted to the crime during a subsequent investigation, with officials determining that she might have inflicted the injuries on herself afterward.
The student was staying at the school at the time of the crime for its after-class child care session before heading to a private art class.
Police found that the teacher had taken a leave of absence due to depression and returned to the school late last year.
The teacher underwent surgery for her stab wounds, and the police said they will resume questioning her as soon as the operation is concluded and she regains her health.
