Hellobee Boards

I would clarify. DD was at a major chain daycare and for diaper changes and bottles they wore gloves but also washed their hands and DD's hands after each diaper change, before/after meals and whenever they came in from going outside. However, we still went through a lot of wipes because they would use them for wiping off a sweaty face or sticky fingers in a pinch.

I work in a day care and per our regulations there are lots of steps. You need to wipe the baby's hands and your hands with a wipe after cleaning them and then after you are done getting a fresh diaper on them and redressed you need to ALSO wash their hands and your own. So, in total, we wipe and wash. Maybe the director just forgot to add that they also wash because the hand washing doesn't effect how many supplies of yours are being used? (Oh, we also have to wear gloves while wiping and disposing of the dirty diaper, but after the diaper is thrown out the gloves come off and that's when the hand wiping happens.)
