It comes after the deaths of at least twenty-one children in a fire at a boarding school in Nyeri, also in central Kenya, on Thursday.
A Kenyan police spokesperson said the fire destroyed hostels at Isiolo Girls High School, before being contained.
The cause of the blaze is unknown, but there have been numerous fires in boarding schools in Kenya in recent years, prompting national concern about safety standards.
The Kenya Red Cross said three children had suffered minor injuries, and had received psychological first aid.
