Live and lear.

The infamous misspelled sign outside the Quality “Learing” Center in Minneapolis has finally been corrected a day after The Post stopped by to investigate fraud allegations against day care centers in the city.

A hastily applied sticker was spotted Tuesday morning, restoring the name of the alleged day care facility to “Quality Learning Center” as originally intended.

However, the center’s street address on the transom beneath the sign was still misspelled as “Nicolet” instead of “Nicollet.”

Manager Ibrahim Ali told The Post Monday that the center’s graphic designer was to blame for the typo, and that it would be fixed soon.

The center, which reportedly received around $4 million in state funding, closed down last week due to space constraints, claimed Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families Commissioner Tikki Brown.

Despite that assertion, the erstwhile “Learing” center was a beehive of activity Monday afternoon, teeming with children and cars in the parking lot.

Here’s the latest on the Minnesota fraud scheme:

A neighbor told The Post it was the first time she’d seen kids there.

The center rose to prominence after a viral video by YouTuber Nick Shirley, who visited a number of alleged day care facilities in Minneapolis in an attempt to uncover possible impropriety amid the state’s percolating billion-dollar human services fraud scandal.
