YouTuber Nick Shirley returns to Minneapolis day care after viral fraud video
Fox 9 ^ | December 30, 2025 | Howard Thompson

YouTuber Nick Shirley returned Tuesday to one of the day care centers he profiled in a now viral video that accused the centers of millions of dollars in fraud.

Shirley back in Minneapolis

What we know: Shirley returned to the Quality Learning Center on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis on Tuesday afternoon as FOX 9 cameras were at the center.

The center, which was mocked for having signage that misspelled learning as "Learing," appeared to have worked to fix its sign since the video was posted.

Shirley was accompanied by the investigator featured in his YouTube video who had pulled records on the funding for the day care centers. Shirley, wearing a misspelled Quality Learning Center sweatshirt, appeared to be working on a new video.

While FOX 9 cameras were at the day care, we saw children and staff inside the building.

Local perspective: The appearance by Shirley comes a day after state officials cast doubt on his claims.

Speaking with media members on Monday, Department of Children, Youth and Families Commissioner Tikki Brown said that all of the day cares featured in Shirley's video had been the subject of unannounced visits in the past six months. Brown said there were children present during those visits and while the day care centers have been subject to past investigations, the state had found no evidence of fraud.

Brown also questioned when Shirley had visited the centers, wondering if the visits had come outside of normal business hours or on the weekend. As best as FOX 9 can tell, Shirley likely shot the video on or around Wednesday, Dec. 17, as he attended a Minnesota House fraud prevention hearing on that date.

Pray for this kid. He’s gone to a lot of protests, man on the street and been hit before but this will put him on lists, bad death lists now, whole other level.

Kids looks remind me of 1986 Michael J. Fox. The similarities stop there for me.

Nick better start traveling with ready protection, if he hasn’t already started doing so. He’s in the big leagues of government grift now. People will stop at nothing to protect their cash cow arrangements.

You are absolutely correct. People and/or organizations kill for thousands of dollars. When it comes to billions, there is no limit to the evil people and/or organizations will stoop to.

Remember in the olden days when we use to have investigative reporters for newspapers and news shows? Now we have Youtubers because the idiots in the MSM are more concerned with helping democraps get elected, so it’s been non-stop Epstein Epstein Epstein, absolutely pathetic.

And I love the sweatshirts. 😄

From what I heard a lot of that money was being sent to terror groups in Somalia so yes, this kid is in danger

They don't know what they think they know. It's Quality Learing Center.

he won’t be able to return to man on the street investigations. he has a target on him, and they will go after him publicly to make an example. remember waltz own staff member became an assassin and killed the only rep in the state that voted against the programs where all the fraud took place. When you take money away from killers they will try to kill you.

It reads as though the FOX affiliate believes the MN gummit over Shirley, no surprise there. Don’t all child care facilities everywhere all have cameras, hey FOX?

Considering the camera under the sign, maybe they misspelled LEERING.
