Prime Minister Beata Szydlo came to the site of Saturday's collapse in the southwestern town of Swiebodzice (Shvyeh-'boh-tchi-tseh) and promised state aid to the survivors.
Swiebodzice Mayor Bogdan Kozuchowicz said Sunday that some children were orphaned in the collapse and five families were left homeless.
A team of construction experts is trying to determine what caused the recently renovated pre-World War II building to collapse.
Firefighters at the site initially said it might have been caused by a gas explosion.
