Minnesota government says 'Quality Learing Center' at center of Somali fraud exposé is closed as it's all of a sudden full of kids
The Post Millennial ^ | December 29, 2025 | Thomas Stevenson

The now-infamous "Quality Learing Center" which was made famous after an expose from independent reporter Nick Shirley is now reportedly shut down—however on Monday it was overrun with children.

According to the New York Post, the scene at the daycare center was bustling with children on Monday a few days after Shirley's expose on alleged fraud taking place in Minnesota within the Somali community. At the time of Shirley's report, there were no children in sight at the facility which had a now-infamous typo in the word "Learning" on its sign.

At the same time, the Minnnesota Star Tribune has reported that the center was shut down last week. The flagship newspaper has also come under scrutiny in the wake of the report from Shirley, with many claiming online that the YouTuber has been reporting on what the paper should have been doing all along.

Citing the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families, Tikki Brown, the Minnesota paper reported the "Quality Learing Center" was shut down last week.

However, the New York Post spoke to the son of the owner of the day care center on Monday, who claimed that Shirley's visit took place before they opened the day Shirley visited. Ibrahim Ali argued to the Post, “Do you go to a coffee shop at 11 p.m. and say, ‘Hey, they’re not working?’" Despite the reports of the center shutting down, Ali appeared to insist that the center was open for business.

Ali also blamed the misspelling of the now-infamous sign on a graphic designer. “What I understand is [the owners] dealt with a graphic designer. He did it incorrectly. I guess they didn’t think it was a big issue,” Ali claimed as he also said that he helps out with the facility's paperwork.

A resident who spoke to the Post said that the center is usually a ghost town, and that they have never seen children go in the center until today. “We’ve never seen kids go in there until today. That parking lot is empty all the time, and I was under the impression that place is permanently closed,” the resident said.

Both of the conflicting reports about the center being "open" or "closed" were published on Monday, but the Post had a first-hand reporter at the scene.

I noticed that immediately when the person in charge of govt over site said that this particular “daycare” center had been closed and all of the sudden it is full of kids.🤔

Got to hand it to them, they are not going to quietly into that good night.

Please some “authority” with professional and personal integrity put these criminals in prison. Finding such a person in “authority” may be an unreasonable expectation. Just how pathetic that???

My company ordered coffee mugs with a=our name and phone number on it. Except the phone number was wrong and it was their fault.
They gave us the mugs for free. Every employee took a couple home. Then the replaced them with new mugs with the correct number.

The owners of this “day care” either did not know the spelling was incorrect OR they did not care. Or THEY ordered it wrong. All they cared about was setting up the “business” so they could apply for the FREE money from the government.
Which they do not think is WRONG. In their culture it is OKAY to scam the government for whatever you can get.

Remember ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL

Hate to paint with a broad brush...unless it’s so. Trump was right about shithole countries—literally.

We’re learning about Somalia. Ditto Nigeria. We’ve heard about the whites of South Africa. Somalia is east coastal, Nigeria is Central Africa.

You won’t believe the culture of Senegal on the west central coast.

Was the Leering Center funded by the Clinton Foundation? Bill misses all the little girls. Dead head Joe said he wouldn’t mind getting a couple sniffs in too.

Illegal (muslim) alien invaders: committing the fraud that our government would never allow us to get away with. Just consider how our own government treats (enables) these criminal parasites, compared to how they treat American citizens for protesting an obviously fraudulent “election”.

Not sure what all the evidence Shirley has, but if he didn’t records days of surveillance to prove the centers were empty then he messed up.

Hopefully more videos to come

I did love the govt officials statement that they had issues with his methods, IE WE DIDN’T EXPECT TO BE CAUGHT

“We’re learning about Somalia.”

We ARE Somalia now — in many ways. For a country whose population has an average IQ of 69, we should be ashamed. The (literal) morons have snookered us.

It looks like the Feds have being doing most of the investigations. Even though fed money is involved, the state administers the handouts and should be the first line of defense for detecting fraud. The state can't play stupid anymore and will have to investigate too..
