I just recently bought a standard YPT-200 Yamaha keyboard which I plan on learning how to play. It has 61 keys altogether. How do you know where the notes are on the keyboard? Like middle C for instance?

C on a standard keyboard is located immediately to the left of each group of two black keys--as opposed to F which is located immediately to the left of the groups of three black keys.

Middle C will usually be the C located closest to the center of the keyboard; although with only 61 instead of 88 keys it might be slightly shifted.

Judging by this picture, it'd be the one just to the left of centre:
