Like most ukes, the soprano ukulele is tuned to the notes gCEA (going from nearest your head to nearest the ground). The G note is higher than the C note (this is known as re-entrant tuning). There are a number of different ways you can go about making sure you soprano is in tune.

Using Your Computer

If you have a mic on your computer you can use a program called AP Tuner. It's free an will show you when your string is in tune (when it points to the zero and says the name of the note).

Using a Tuner

Of course, there are probably going to be many times when you want to tune your ukulele but your not at the computer. So it's very useful to have a portable ukulele tuner such as the Intelli Tuner. This has a display similar to the AP Tuner but works by clipping on to the headstock of your ukulele and detecting the vibrations as you play. That means you can tune even in noisy environments such as a uke group - a big advantage.

Using Your Ears

If you are confident of your ability to match pitches, you can tune a soprano ukulele to a piano, guitar or pitch pipes. Or tuning notes such as these:
