Elena Anghel, 50, is charged with killing five-year-old David-Mario Lazar at his home in Earldson.
A woman has been further remanded in custody charged with the murder of a five-year-old boy who died while in her care.
Elena Anghel was not required to enter a plea when she appeared at Warwick Crown Court via video-link on Monday.
Anghel, from Coventry, was detained under the Mental Health Act after David-Mario Lazar died from a stab wound at his home in Poplar Road, Earlsdon, on 25 January 2022.
The 50-year-old, who has been remanded to a secure mental health facility pending her trial, was assisted by an interpreter during an 11-minute hearing.
Judge Andrew Lockhart KC heard submissions from counsel before adjourning the case until 5 April, ahead of a trial before a High Court judge that is expected to begin on 19 June.
