Police said a second child was also abused by Fruit just a half-hour earlier, but that child did not require medical attention.
Fruit is now facing charges of first-degree attempted murder and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Fruit was an employee at the center for two months.
Anyone with additional information is asked to call Lindenwold police.
