It's more about the visibility of the image at a distance than the looks of the "kids" in the image. So there's some liberties taken to make them easier to identify while driving. Same for the senior's area signage.

Isn't there some rule that deals with how many road signs can be in a particular area and spacing requirements between signs?
There are spacing rules, but generally only necessary for high speed roadways. Urban areas the rules are relaxed at the "engineer's discretion". Generally every 50 m or at every light pole is considered acceptable at 60km/h. Since I doubt the City does such thorough reviews on every sign installed, if it seemed too cluttered a call to 311 could resolve it.
