update
I'm sorry that you and your kids are going through this. It's a shame when you're the victim and end up looking like the guilty one. They weren't friends. Also record him if possible. It might not legally hold up in some states (as far as evidence), but I don't think it's illegal for "friends" to hear it. Hang in there!
(And, yes, the "wiretap" law doesn't only apply to taped phone conversations, but also in-person spoken communications secretly recorded using a video cam, cell phone, tape recorder, etc.)

very curiously, dandylion
I would check with an attorney. Wiretap laws generally only cover communications--the spoken (or in the case of electronic communications, the written) word. BUT there are laws concerning invasion of privacy that might be implicated in a place where someone has a legitimate expectation of privacy. Whether that would cover a childcare provider in YOUR home I do not know. It WOULD, however, probably cover putting a concealed camera in your bedroom at home to secretly record your partner's activities there. Some states have laws explicitly covering that, some states would consider it stalking.
Tricky stuff, which is why I personally would research the law in my own jurisdiction before doing it.
