"jeunes" is not a noun. It is an adjective meaning young. jeunes enfants means young children. if you just had "the children" then you could say "des enfants", but since they sneaked an adjective, jeunes, in-between des and enfants, it becomes "de jeunes enfants"

Ok, I think I got it: a) use "de" before an adjective + noun; b) use jeune(s) before enfant(s)
