The interviewer wants to know you've done some research about their organization prior to the interviewer. It's important to know what you're getting into when applying to different organizations. Research a little history about the organization what they value, are they for profit or a nonprofit, etc. You don't have to know the full history of the program, but is important to know a little bit more than just the name.

Depending on the organization you may or may not need to follow certain rules and regulations within the state. Many for profit organizations have state rules related to childcare, while many non profit organizations do not. It'll be important for you to know about the difference because depending on the program you may need to have your staff do continued education hours and track them. It'll fall on you to make sure those hours get done. For your answer just pull in something from the organization that you've found interesting and pulling a question in would be even better to show the interviewer that you are interested and care.
