We present the preliminary results of an IR survey targeting newly discovered mbedded clusters. The clusters were discovered by Bica and Dutra (2003) during a systematic search of the 2MASS database. The aim of our survey was to reobserve these objects with better spatial resolution and limiting magnitude. To date we have observed 25 of the 346 clusters found by Bica and Dutra (2003). We constructed near-IR color-color diagrams to identify PMS stars in the clusters and examined the distribution of these stars in the cluster field. In this proceeding we show the results concerning three candidates of our survey.
